Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 1.09
Questions by the Court
During the trial, I may ask questions of witnesses called by the parties. My questions are not more or less important than the questions that are asked by attorneys in the case. You should consider the answers to my questions just as you would other answers in the case. Do not assume that because I ask questions I have any opinion about the case or the matters to which my questions relate.
Nothing I do or say during the trial is intended to indicate what I think the facts are or that I believe or disbelieve any witness. If anything I do or say seems to indicate that to you, you are to disregard it and form your own opinion.
It is the jury's job, not the judge's, to evaluate the evidence and to decide what evidence to believe and what weight to give the evidence.
