Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During the closing arguments of a civil trial, the plaintiff's attorney requests that the judge include a specific jury instruction regarding the standard of 'clear and convincing evidence.' The defense attorney objects, arguing that this standard was already adequately covered. What should the judge do in response to the plaintiff's request?

  • Allow the defense attorney to present an alternative instruction before deciding on the plaintiff's request.

  • Postpone the decision until after the trial to avoid interrupting the proceedings.

  • Grant the plaintiff's request and include the additional instruction to ensure the jury understands the standard of 'clear and convincing evidence.'

  • Deny the plaintiff's request because the standard was already discussed during the trial.
