March brings updates to all three of the sets of Wisconsin jury instructions. The Wisconsin Jury Instructions are created and edited by the Wisconsin Jury Instructions Committees of the Wisconsin Judicial Conference.
These releases include:
Children’s Jury Instruction updates with one new instruction, and eight revised instructions. This set was last updated in July 2024.
Civil Jury Instruction updates with two new instructions, a renumbered and revised instruction, and sixteen revised instructions. This set was last updated in July 2024.
Criminal Jury Instruction updates with one new instruction, a renumbered and revised instruction, and 15 revised instructions. This set was last updated in December 2024.
The printable releases for each set of instructions can be downloaded at any time from the “Update releases” pages for each set.
Blank pages have been inserted to make double sided printing easier. File new, updated, and revised instructions, along with the updated table and index in your print set. Complete printable files of each instruction set and finding aids are also available for those who need to print a complete set. Download them at https://wilawlibrary.gov/jury/
