Rule Text

Amendment history: (Adopted Sept. 13, 1995; amended Aug. 11, 2021, July 1, 2026.)

Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)

This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.

This rule no longer exists. It used to set up a commission in North Dakota that created standard jury instructions for judges to use in court, but the rule has since been repealed and removed from the state's court rules.

When a rule is repealed, it means the courts no longer follow it and it has no legal effect. If you're looking into how jury instructions are handled in North Dakota now, you'll need to check current court rules or contact the North Dakota court system directly, since this old rule won't give you accurate information about today's process.
