The 11.80 VERDICT FORM (42 U.S.C. CIV. 1981) VERDICT is a type of court document that is used by the court to render a verdict on a civil lawsuit. It is often used when the parties to a lawsuit have reached a settlement out of court and the court is asked to approve the settlement and enter a judgment. The form is designed to be filled out by the court to explain the terms of the settlement, the terms of the judgment, and, if applicable, the terms of any award made to the prevailing party in the lawsuit. The form includes sections for the court to enter information such as the names of the parties, the amount of the award, and any other relevant details. There are two types of 11.80 VERDICT FORM (42 U.S.C. CIV. 1981) VERDICT: one for a jury trial and one for a bench trial.
