Response to Jury Questions (revised 2013) is a document published by the American Bar Association (ABA) that provides guidance to judges and lawyers on how to best respond to questions posed by jurors. It includes a set of standards for handling difficult questions, as well as sample questions and responses. The document is intended to help ensure fairness and accuracy in jury deliberations. There are two main types of Response to Jury Questions (revised 2013): Standard and Non-Standard. Standard questions are those that are commonly asked by jurors and include questions about the evidence, the law, and the court's instructions. Non-Standard questions are those that are outside the scope of the evidence, the law, and the court's instructions. The document provides guidance on how judges should respond to both types of questions. For example, it suggests that judges provide clear and concise answers to Standard questions and that they avoid giving advice or legal opinions when responding to Non-Standard questions. Additionally, it encourages judges to allow lawyers to object to questions that are inappropriate or outside the scope of the trial.
