Service on one of the Supreme Court’s standard jury instruction committees — which soon will be looking for new members — offers a way to be involved in demanding and rewarding work, according to the chairs of the committees.

The Standard Jury Instructions Committee — Civil Cases; Standard Jury Instructions Committee — Business and Contract; and Supreme Court Jury Instructions Committee (Criminal) are different than other voluntary choices for lawyers seeking some Bar-related service options.

Notably they are Supreme Court, not Bar, committees, with the court appointing members who are nominated by the committees. The Bar provides staff support for the first two panels while the Office of the State Courts Administrator staffs the criminal instructions committee.
