Rules of Court. Text of rules (2.1050 and 2.1055) (amended effective August 26, 2005), and 10.59 (adopted effective July 1, 2005) regarding the approval, use and format of the new Judicial Council criminal jury instructions.
Can special instructions still be proposed?
Special instructions may be proposed under Code of Civil Procedure 609, but they must conform to the format requirements of rule (2.1055). If there is no CACI instruction on a subject on which the trial judge determines that the jury should be instructed, or if a CACI instruction cannot be modified to submit the issue properly, another instruction may be given on that subject. The instruction should be accurate, brief, understandable, impartial, and free from argument. Rule (2.1050(e).)
Does CACI change the law in California?
No, the CACI instructions do not change the law. In drafting the new instructions, the Task Force was charged with accurately stating existing law in a way that is understandable to the average juror. The articulation and interpretation of California law remains within the purview of the Legislature and courts of review. Rule (2.1050(b).)
How is CACI updated?
The Advisory Committee on Civil Jury Instructions is charged with maintaining and updating CACI, and submits its recommendations to the Judicial Council for approval at least twice each calendar year. The committee works with staff from the Legal Services office of the Judicial Council, and considers suggestions from the bench and bar. Proposed new instructions and revisions to existing instructions are distributed for public comment before being submitted to the Judicial Council for approval. Rules 2.1050(d) and 2.1058.
To promote accuracy and uniformity statewide, the Judicial Council of California provides a standardized set of civil jury instructions. Under California Rule of Court 2.1050, judges are strongly encouraged to use them. The instructions cover cases ranging from personal injury and contract lawsuits to civil rights and consumer disputes. Volume 1 also contains a set of general pretrial instructions, while Volume 2 contains a set of general concluding instructions.
Regardless of the source, pattern jury instructions are not entitled to a presumption of correctness. (Bowman v. Wyatt (2010) 186 Cal.App.4th 286, fn. 6.) Furthermore, even where an instruction is generally a correct statement of the law, it may just be that given the facts of a particular case, it is nevertheless appropriate to modify, supplement or improve the standard form instruction. The use of special jury instructions is still very much alive and well. (See Code of Civ. Proc., 609; Calif. Rules of Court, rules 2.1050(e) and 2.1055.)
