A quick definition of JNOV:

Term: JNOV

Definition: JNOV stands for Judgment notwithstanding the verdict. This means that even if a jury has made a decision, a judge can still overrule it if they believe that the decision was not based on the evidence presented in the trial. It's like a teacher changing a student's grade if they realize that the student didn't actually answer the questions correctly, even though the student thought they did.

A more thorough explanation:

JNOV

JNOV stands for Judgment notwithstanding the verdict. It is a legal term used when a judge overturns a jury's decision and enters a verdict of their own.

For example, if a jury finds a defendant guilty of a crime, but the judge believes there was not enough evidence to support the verdict, the judge may enter a JNOV and overturn the jury's decision.

Another example could be in a civil case where a jury awards damages to a plaintiff, but the judge believes the evidence does not support the amount of damages awarded. The judge may enter a JNOV and reduce the damages awarded.

JNOV is a legal term used when a judge disagrees with a jury's decision and enters their own verdict. This can happen in both criminal and civil cases. The examples provided illustrate how a judge may use JNOV to overturn a jury's decision or reduce damages awarded. It is important to note that JNOV is not commonly used and is only used in specific circumstances where the judge believes the jury's decision is not supported by the evidence presented in court.
