Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 2.16
Telephonic Testimony
The testimony of [one witness] [some witnesses] was presented telephonically.
The law does not distinguish between telephonic testimony and live testimony. Both are valid forms of testimony. Telephonic testimony should be weighed by you as you would any other testimony. However, you may consider that you have not seen the witness testify. It is for you to decide whether this is significant.
