Sources for Jury Instructions

We occasionally get questions about jury instructions.  Both Lexis and Westlaw have jury instructions, which can be found as follows:

Lexis          Legal > Area of Law – By Topic > Litigation > Jury Instructions
Westlaw     Directory > Jury Instructions > Pattern Jury Instructions.

Pennsylvania Suggested Standard Civil Jury Instructions and Pennsylvania Suggested Standard Criminal Jury Instructions, publications by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, are available in print and are also on Westlaw. See also the following:
