Minnesota Jury Instruction Companion Handbook, by the Minnesota District Judges Association, provides an excellent reference for both judges and lawyers in civil cases. The handbook is designed to be used in conjunction with
Jury Instruction Guides – Civil (Volumes 4 and 4A of the Minnesota Practice Series). However, while the civil jury instruction guides provide a list of possible jury instructions, the handbook provides a complete set of actual instructions given in a particular case. This case-specific format covering 14 areas of substantive law enables readers to discern how a particular jury instruction fits into the jury charge as a whole.
