Use what is considered the bible to the Judges of the California Courts by employing what they use: the Judicial Council of California Criminal Jury Instructions (CALCRIM), from the official publisher LexisNexis Matthew Bender. Under California Rules of Court, Rule 2.1050(e), use of the Judicial Council instructions is strongly encouraged. The latest edition of CALCRIM, as approved by the CA Judicial Council, contains all new and amended instructions applicable to each and every case that the trial judge determines what the jury should be instructed on the subject.
