You know how much work is involved in a criminal jury trial—research, case law analysis, the elements of the charge. Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions (CRIMJI) puts all of the legal research that goes into preparing a jury instruction to work for you. Guided by a cross-Canada editorial board, this authoritative resource provides you with over 150 model instructions on trial procedures, evidence, and major offences and defences.

  • save time drafting criminal jury instructions
  • confidently suggest amendments or additions to a jury instruction
  • understand the evidentiary foundation of a particular crime or defence
  • explain evidence and law relevant to your case in plain language understandable to a jury
