TEACHER'S MANUAL for Criminal Procedure

Written for Illinois attorneys, reviewed by active and retired Illinois appellate court judges, this practical guide enables litigators to draft instructions that accurately reflect Illinois law and are comprehensible to jurors. It is the only publication that combines both IPI and non-IPI civil jury instructions. Coverage includes civil actions, torts, contracts, and statutory actions.

Suggested instructions are accompanied by:  •   The case or statutory authorities on which the instruction is based  •   A Use of Instruction subsection explaining how and when an instruction should be used - with guidelines for using alternative provisions  •   A comment discussing the authorities cited for each instruction  •   References that tie the work to other chapters in the set and to other LexisNexis publications.
