CJI-Civ. 4:1A
Applying Law to the Evidence
In your deliberations, your duty is to apply (the Court’s) (my) instructions of law to
the evidence that you have seen and heard in the courtroom. You are not allowed to look
at, read, consult, or use any material of any kind, including any newspapers, magazines,
television and radio broadcasts, dictionaries, medical, scientific, technical, religious, or law
books or materials, or the internet in connection with your jury service. I want to
emphasize that you must not look for or receive any information about this case from the
internet. This includes all social media platforms, search engines such as Google, online
sources like Wikipedia and blogs, AI tools such as ChatGPT or similar programs, and any
other website. You are not allowed to do any research of any kind about this case.
Do not use any information from any other source concerning the facts or the law
applicable to this case other than the evidence presented and the instructions that I give
you. Do not do your own investigation about this case. (You are not allowed to visit any
place[s] mentioned in the evidence. If this is an area that you normally go through, you
should try to take an alternate route. If you are not able to take an alternate route, you
should not gather any information from that location.)

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.
