A quick definition of model jury instruction:

A model jury instruction is a set of guidelines that a judge gives to a jury about the law of the case. It helps the jury understand what they need to consider when making their decision. Sometimes, the jury may have questions about the evidence or the law, and the judge can give them additional instructions to help them. There are different types of instructions, such as affirmative instructions that remove an issue from the jury's consideration, cautionary instructions that tell the jury to disregard certain evidence, and mandatory instructions that require the jury to find for one party and against the other based on the evidence presented. Model jury instructions are usually approved by a state bar association or similar group and are considered authoritative by courts.

A more thorough explanation:

A model jury instruction is a set of guidelines or directions that a judge gives to a jury about the law of the case. These instructions help the jury understand the legal issues involved in the case and how to apply the law to the facts presented. Model jury instructions are usually approved by a state bar association or similar group and are considered authoritative by courts.

For example, a model jury instruction might explain to the jury what constitutes reasonable doubt in a criminal case. The instruction would provide guidance on how to evaluate the evidence presented and how to determine whether the prosecution has met its burden of proof.

Another example of a model jury instruction might be a set of guidelines for determining damages in a civil case. The instruction would provide guidance on how to calculate damages based on the evidence presented and how to consider factors such as lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

Overall, model jury instructions are an important tool for ensuring that juries understand the law and can make informed decisions based on the evidence presented in court.
