Instructions Prior to Closing Arguments is a term used to refer to a set of instructions given to the jury or judge by the court before the closing arguments of a legal case are presented. These instructions are used to explain the legal principles that the jury or judge should consider when evaluating the evidence presented in the case. There are two main types of Instructions Prior to Closing Arguments. The first type is the final jury instruction, which is a set of instructions given to the jury on the law that applies to the case. The second type is the bench instruction, which is a set of instructions given to the judge on the law that applies to the case. The purpose of these instructions is to provide guidance to the jury or judge in understanding the evidence presented and in making a decision in the case. This ensures that the jury or judge understands the law and applies it consistently.
