Read a random definition: Orange Book

A quick definition of special instruction:

A special instruction is a direction given by a judge to a jury about the law of a case. It helps the jury understand what they need to consider when making a decision. Sometimes, the jury may ask for additional instructions if they have questions about the evidence or the law. There are different types of instructions, such as mandatory instructions that require the jury to find for one party, cautionary instructions that tell the jury to disregard certain evidence, and model jury instructions that are approved by a state bar association. Overall, special instructions help ensure that the jury makes an informed and fair decision.

A more thorough explanation:

A special instruction is a direction or guideline that a judge gives to a jury about the law of the case. It helps the jury understand the legal issues involved in the case and make a fair decision. Special instructions are usually given in response to a request from one of the lawyers in the case.

These examples illustrate how special instructions can help the jury understand the law and make a fair decision. The jury instruction reminds the jury of the defendant's presumption of innocence. The additional instruction helps the jury understand a specific piece of evidence. The mandatory instruction tells the jury how to decide the case based on certain facts.
