Intent:
To develop jury instructions that are an accurate statement of Utah law using simple structure and, where possible, words of ordinary meaning.
Applicability:
This rule applies to the committees on Model Utah Jury Instructions.
Statement of the Rule:
The committees on Model Utah Jury Instructions will develop jury instructions that are accurate statements of Utah law using simple structure and, where possible, words of ordinary meaning.

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.
