Conn. Practice Book § 16-9
Questions of Law and Fact
The judicial authority shall decide all issues of
law and all questions of law arising in the trial of
any issue of fact, and, in committing the cause to
the jury, shall direct it to find accordingly, and shall
submit all questions of fact to the jury, with such
observations on the evidence, for the jury’s information, as it thinks proper, without any direction
how the jury shall find the facts. After the cause
has been committed to the jury, no pleas, arguments or evidence shall be received before the
verdict is returned into court and recorded. (See
General Statutes § 52-216 and annotations.)
