Tips from the Bench (October 2008)

The following judges, in addition to me, have offered to write the "Tips from the Bench" column – Steven Bushong, Jerry LaBarre, Marilyn Litzenberger, Maureen McKnight and Leslie Roberts. Each month, on a rotating basis, we will focus on criminal, civil and family law issues. This month's article focuses on criminal jury instructions, but it includes some helpful reminders for all practitioners.
