Pji Civ 5Th Cir 2020 Ed PATTERN JURY INSTRUCTIONS (Civil Cases) Prepared by the Committee on Civil Pattern Jury Instructions District Judges Association Fifth Circuit 2020 with revisions through June 2020 For Customer Assistance Call 1-800-328-4880 Mat #42803135 COMMITTEE ON CIVIL PATTERN JURY INSTRUCTIONS DISTRICT JUDGES ASSOCIATION FIFTH CIRCUIT Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater, Chair Judge Alan Albright Judge Debra M. Brown Judge John W. deGravelles Judge Terry A. Doughty Judge Elizabeth Erny Foote Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon Chief Judge Lee H. Rosenthal iii FOREWORD TO 2014 EDITION In July 2011, the Fifth Circuit District Judges Associa- tion formed the Pattern Jury Instruction Committee (Civil) including Judges Lee Rosenthal, Ron Clark, Elizabeth Foote, Sul Ozerden, Michael P. Mills, Stanwood Duval, Mary Ann Lemmon, Sarah Vance, Melinda Harmon and Dan Jordan. The Committee was charged with reviewing the existing pattern instructions and updating them where necessary. After an initial review, the Committee determined that the time had come for a top-to-bottom examination for substantive accuracy. While many of the existing instruc- tions remained valid, a significant number no longer reflected current law. This is no reflection on prior commit- tees, which did an excellent job drafting prior patterns. The law is not stagnant; it was time to update. Accordingly, the 2014 edition of the Fifth Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions (Civil) will represent a substantial overhaul. The Committee approached this project with a consistent mantra: present instructions that are as balanced, accurate, and user friendly as possible. Given the breadth of that undertaking, outside assistance was essential. And in the end, nearly one hundred judges, attorneys, law professors, and law students helped draft, vet, edit, and proofread the final product. In all, the instructions went through four rounds of review, each time by a different panel of reviewers. In every case, the volunteer reviewers were recruited for their expertise in the chapters they helped produce. In most cases, the volunteers presided, practiced, or taught within the Fifth Circuit and possessed hands-on experience apply- ing this circuit’s standards, though some experts beyond this circuit were consulted. Readers will note that the subject areas are not identical to previous editions. Chapter 6 on Antitrust and Chapter 8 on RICO have been deleted because the Committee concluded that the existing instructions were no longer trustworthy and that the issues arose too infrequently to justify revision. Chapter 9 on Patent Infringement has been deleted because the Committee learned that practitioners favored other pat- tern instructions for patent cases. Chapter 14 on statutes of v FOREWORD limitations was also deleted because such statutes generally involve state-law issues and Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas all have variations that were not reflected in the old pattern instructions. For some of these chapters, the Com- mittee has suggested other sources. The Committee also added instructions, including an instruction on electronic communications during trial and a new section on the Fair Labor Standards Act. Those using the new instructions will also observe that they are heavily footnoted. There is simply no way to draft an instruction that covers every possible factual case. The patterns therefore address the most common factual sce- narios, but the footnotes direct the reader to other potential issues and authorities. The notes also allow the reader to review the source to determine whether the instruction remains current. Along these same lines, the Committee received a fair number of suggested instructions from attorneys and profes- sors that represented novel legal theories. The Committee did not include these suggestions—though some were footnoted—concluding that pattern instructions are not the place to advance the law. Again, the patterns were designed to cover the most common issues. This major undertaking lasted more than three years, and there are many to thank. The Committee offers its heartfelt appreciation to all who helped produce the 2014 edition, including our law clerks and summer externs. Special thanks are extended to Professor Lonny Hoffman, who served as our reporter and devoted countless hours to the project. His guidance and input were invaluable. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Committee Members Page............................................... iii Foreword ................................................................ v Instruction 1.
