CJI-Civ. 1:8
Note-Taking by Jurors
You have received writing materials. You may use these materials to take notes
during the trial. However, you are not required to do so.
If you take notes, you should not allow the note-taking to detract from your close
attention to each witness and his or her testimony and all other evidence received during
the trial.
Whether you take notes or not, you should rely on your memory as much as possible
and not upon your notes or the notes of other jurors. Any notes you take are to refresh
your own individual memory.
These materials may only be used in the courtroom or jury room. You may take
these materials from the courtroom to the jury room and from the jury room to the
courtroom. However, these materials may not be taken anywhere else.
Please write your name on your materials. Be assured that no one else will read your
notes. At the end of the case, these notes will be returned to the Court and destroyed.

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.
