Book of Interest

Thomson Reuters has put out a new book of interest for jury trials in Mississippi.  I received a copy of Mississippi Plain Language Model Jury Instructions - Civil in the mail a few days ago.  The same is located here.   The instructions offered are an attempt to clarify what the law is to jurors and make them easier to understand.  From what part I have read thus far, the book is wonderful in explaining items in simple terms that I believe most anyone of average intelligence can understand.  I expect the instructions in the book to start becoming the new standard for civil cases in Mississippi in the upcoming year.
