a. Publication Information And Caveats

The Federal Judicial Center produced this Benchbook for U.S. District Court Judges in furtherance of its mission to develop and conduct education programs for the judicial branch. This Benchbook is not a statement of official Federal Judicial Center policy. Rather, it was prepared by, and it represents, the considered views of the Center’s Benchbook Committee, a group of experienced district judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States in his capacity as chair of the Center’s Board. The committee was assisted by Federal Judicial Center staff.

NCJIC has included the Benchbook for U.S. District Court Judges (5^th Ed. 2007) as an added resource for subscribers to the NCJIC Jury Instruction materials.

Links have been added to related NCJIC materials and to other Federal Judicial Center publications.

While some heading numbers have been added or modified, the text is that which the Federal Judicial Center published in 2007. Therefore, before relying on these materials, independent research should be conducted to verify that the information is accurate and complete.
