How is a Civil Trial Decided

The video tutorial explains the process of jury instructions, where the judge guides the jury on the legal standards to apply to the evidence presented. It details how the jury determines if the facts meet the elements of a charge, leading to a verdict of liable or not liable in civil cases, and guilty or not guilty in criminal cases. The judge then delivers a judgment based on the jury's verdict, which is usually accepted unless it is arbitrary. The tutorial also discusses post-verdict motions like JNOV and the appeals process, emphasizing that appeals are procedural and rarely overturn the court's decision unless there are constitutional issues.
