Stark & Stark Shareholder, Evan Lide, Esq., was reappointed to his 5th term on the Supreme Court Committee on Model Civil Jury Charges.
The Model Civil Jury Charge Committee prepares and updates model civil jury charges to be useful to trial judges and litigants to accomplish the important function of adequately and understandably instructing civil juries. The Model Civil Jury Charges provide model instructions and related clarifying judges’ notes. The Model Civil Jury Charges endeavor to enhance comprehension by jurors, while retaining a balanced and accurate statement of the law. The Model Civil Jury Charges are a framework for building a set of jury instructions.
“I look forward to assisting the Supreme Court in its ongoing efforts to support jury impartiality as we examine and enhance the Model Civil Jury instructions to reinforce juror awareness of implicit bias,” Evan said. Great work, Evan!
