Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 1.05
Jury Notetaking
Those of you who took notes during trial may use your notes to refresh your memory
during jury deliberations.
Each juror should rely on his or her recollection of the evidence. Just because a juror has
taken notes does not necessarily mean that his or her recollection of the evidence is any better or
more accurate than the recollection of a juror who did not take notes.
When you are discharged from further service in this case, your notes will be collected by
the deputy and destroyed. Throughout that process, your notes will remain confidential and no
one will be allowed to see them.

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.
