MUJI 2d CV104
Order of trial.
The trial will proceed as follows:
(1) The lawyers will make opening statements, outlining what the case is about and what they think the evidence will show.
(2) [Name of plaintiff] will offer evidence first, followed by [name of defendant]. I may allow the parties to later offer more evidence.
(3) Throughout the trial and after the evidence has been fully presented, I will instruct you on the law. You must follow the law as I explain it to you, even if you do not agree with it.
(4) The lawyers will then summarize and argue the case. They will share with you their views of the evidence, how it relates to the law and how they think you should decide the case.
(5) The final step is for you to go to the jury room and discuss the evidence and the instructions among yourselves until you reach a verdict.
