Wis JI-Civil 190
Closing: Short Form
Now, members of the jury, this case is ready to be submitted to you for your serious
deliberation. You will consider the case fairly, honestly, impartially, and in the light of reason
and common sense. Give each question in the verdict your careful and conscientious
consideration. In answering each question, free your minds of all feelings of sympathy, bias,
or prejudice. Let your verdict speak the truth, whatever the truth may be.
When you retire to the jury room, your first duty will be to elect a juror, who will
preside over your deliberations and write in the answers you have agreed upon. The vote of
the presiding juror, however, is entitled to no greater weight than the vote of any other juror.
When your deliberations are concluded, and your answers inserted in the verdict, the
presiding juror will sign and date the verdict, and all of you will return with the verdict into
the court.
The clerk may now swear the bailiffs.
