Minnesota juries in civil cases follow guidelines written by two William Mitchell professors, Michael Steenson and Peter Knapp. Their latest volume of Minnesota Practice Series’ Jury Instruction Guides – Civil: Volume 5 was published by Thomson-West.
The Guides clarify opinions and statutes, which are not written to instruct juries. The authors capture and distill the law so jurors can understand and apply it during civil proceedings, assuring the law is followed faithfully. “We examine every word to determine whether a substitute would be easier for the juror to understand,” said Steenson.
