Designed to assist in the preparation of jury instructions,
Missouri Jury Instruction Companion Handbook provides authored commentary and tips related to the use of pattern instructions. It supplements the Missouri Approved Jury Instructions (the MAI). This handbook contains actual jury instructions filed in several types of civil cases in Missouri as well as sets of instructions that contain “Not-in-MAI” instructions, to show how they are integrated with approved instructions. You'll find:
- Sample filings
- Notes on modification
- Research references, including cross-references to the Missouri Approved Jury Instructions
