Conn. Practice Book § 16-23
Form and Contents of Requests To Charge
(a) When there are several requests, they shall
be in separate and numbered paragraphs, each
containing a single proposition of law clearly and
concisely stated with the citation of authority upon
which it is based, and the evidence to which the
proposition would apply. Requests to charge
should not exceed fifteen in number unless, for
good cause shown, the judicial authority permits
the filing of an additional number. If the request
is granted, the judicial authority shall apply the
proposition of law to the facts of the case.
(b) A principle of law should be stated in but one
request and in but one way. Requests attempting
to state in different forms the same principle of
law as applied to a single issue are improper.

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.
