A quick definition of cautionary instruction:

A cautionary instruction is a direction given by a judge to a jury about the law of a case. It tells the jury what they should or should not consider when making their decision. Sometimes, the jury may ask for more information or clarification, and the judge may give them additional instructions. There are different types of instructions, such as affirmative, binding, and special instructions. A cautionary instruction may also tell the jury to ignore certain evidence or not to be influenced by outside factors. It is important for the jury to follow the judge's instructions to ensure a fair trial.

A more thorough explanation:

A cautionary instruction is a direction or guideline that a judge gives to a jury concerning the law of the case. It is usually given to warn the jury about certain evidence or to instruct them not to be influenced by outside factors.

For example, a judge may give a cautionary instruction to the jury to disregard certain evidence or consider it for specific purposes only. This is to ensure that the jury does not base their decision on irrelevant or prejudicial information. Another example is when a judge instructs the jury not to talk to anyone about the case while the trial is in progress. This is to prevent outside influences from affecting the jury's decision.

Cautionary instructions are important because they help ensure that the jury makes a fair and impartial decision based on the evidence presented in court.
