Proposed Mississippi Plain Language Model Jury Instructions - Civil 124
Jury Deliberations - Sworn Duty
It is not my role to tell you what your verdict should be. It is your sworn duty as a juror to
decide this case and reach a verdict. You should try to agree on a verdict if you can. Each of you
must decide the case for yourself, but only after you have discussed the evidence with the other
jurors. While deciding this case, do not hesitate to re-examine your own views and change your
mind, but only if you become convinced that you were wrong. Do not change your mind or
opinion just because other jurors disagree with you or simply to return a verdict.
