Michigan Model Judgment is a legal framework used by courts in the state of Michigan to instruct jurors on how to make a decision in a civil or criminal trial. This model judgment is divided into two distinct parts. The first part is the "Charge to the Jury," which outlines the law that applies to the case, provides guidance to the jurors on how to interpret the law, and details the specific questions that jurors must answer in order to reach a verdict. The second part is the "Verdict Form," which includes the specific questions that the jury must answer in order to make a decision. There are two types of Michigan Model Judgment: Criminal Model Judgment and Civil Model Judgment. Criminal Model Judgment is used in criminal cases and outlines the law and questions that must be answered in order to reach a decision on a criminal charge. Civil Model Judgment is used in civil cases and outlines the law and questions that must be answered in order to reach a decision on a civil claim.
