Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 1.11
Note Taking
You may take notes during the trial, but you are not required to do so. If you decide to take notes, do not let your note taking distract you from hearing and seeing all the evidence.
Your notes are to be used only by you to refresh your own recollection during deliberations. Do not read your notes aloud or show them to other jurors. During deliberations, the recollection of a juror who took notes is not necessarily more accurate than the recollection of another juror who did not take notes.
During each recess, you must leave your pads and pencils on your chairs. Your notes are kept confidential by being locked up overnight and placed on your chairs each morning. After you have completed your deliberations, your notes will be collected and shredded.
