CALCRIM No. 124
Separation Admonition
[Y ou may be permitted to separate during recesses and at the end of the
day. I will tell you when to return. Please remember, we cannot begin the
trial until all of you are in place, so it is important to be on time.]
Remember, do not talk about the case or about any of the people or any
subject involved in it with anyone, including the other jurors. Do not do
research, share information, or talk to each other or to anyone else about
the facts of the case or anything else connected with the trial, and do not
use any form of electronic or wireless communication to do any of those
things, either.
Do not make up your mind or express any opinion about the case or any
issue connected with the trial until after you have discussed the case with
the other jurors during deliberations.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
