ICJI 1716 DUTY TO CONSULT WITH ONE ANOTHER
As jurors you have a duty to consult with one another and to deliberate before making your individual decisions. You should fully and fairly discuss among yourselves all of the evidence you have seen and heard in this courtroom, together with the law contained in these instructions. Although you each must decide this case for yourselves, you should do so only after consulting with each other and considering each other's views.
You should deliberate with the objective of reaching an agreement, if you can do so without disturbing your individual judgments. During your deliberations, you each have the right to re-examine your own views and change your opinions. You should only do so, however, if you are convinced by fair and honest discussion that your original opinion was incorrect based upon the evidence and the law. None of you should surrender your honest opinion as to the weight or effect of the evidence merely because the majority of the jury feels otherwise or for the purpose of returning a verdict.

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.
