LAW OFFICES OF PETER J. CYR

Our attorneys understand the law and practices regarding jury instruction, which consists of instructions to the jury at the close of the trial regarding the applicable law and how to apply it to the facts of the case.

When appropriate, our attorneys submit modifications of the standard jury instructions in light of the particular circumstances of the case, including legal defenses (e.g., self-defense) and the desirability of seeking a verdict on a lesser included offense. In such cases, we often provide case law to the court in support of our position.
