A quick definition of binding instruction:

A binding instruction is a direction given by a judge to a jury about the law of a case. It tells the jury what they must do based on the evidence presented. Sometimes, the jury may ask for more information or clarification, and the judge may give additional instructions. There are different types of instructions, such as mandatory instructions that require the jury to find for one party and against the other, and cautionary instructions that tell the jury to disregard certain evidence or not be influenced by outside factors. Model jury instructions are forms of instructions that are usually accepted as authoritative.

A more thorough explanation:

A binding instruction is a direction or guideline that a judge gives to a jury concerning the law of the case. It is also known as a mandatory instruction. This means that the jury must follow the instruction and make their decision based on it.

For example, if a judge gives a binding instruction that a defendant cannot be convicted unless there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the jury must follow this instruction and find the defendant not guilty if they have any doubt about the evidence.

Another example of a binding instruction is when a judge instructs the jury to find for one party and against the other if a given set of facts exists. This means that the jury must make their decision based on the facts presented and follow the judge's instruction.

Overall, a binding instruction is a crucial part of a trial as it guides the jury in making their decision based on the law of the case.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
