MUJI 2d CV156
Do not resort to chance
When you deliberate, do not flip a coin, draw straws, choose opinions at random, or use other methods of chance. Instead you must weigh the evidence carefully and come to a decision that is supported by the evidence.
If you decide that a party is entitled to recover damages, you must then agree upon the amount of money to award that party. Each of you should state your own independent judgment on what the amount should be. You must thoughtfully consider the amounts suggested, evaluate them according to these instructions and the evidence, and reach an agreement on the amount. You must not agree in advance to average the estimates.
