That part of a judge's charge to a jury telling them not to allow any extraneous or outside matter to influence their verdict. Instruction by judge cautioning jury against regarding instructions as the opinion of the court on the facts. Instruction that the jury should not consider certain rulings of the court as an intimation of opinion. Instruction that after the trial the jury should advise no one as to what happened in the jury room. Instruction cautioning jury to consider evidence in a certain way.

How to Update Wiki

The Law Wiki is still very new and so it's a great time to jump in and start updating it and learning how to use it. You really can't mess anything up, because all revisions are stored and can be rolled back by a moderator, so play away and you can help make this a great resource for WORLDLawDirect visitors.
