0 tracked cards Civil Procedure

At the end of a federal civil trial, the judge declined to give the defendant's requested jury instruction. The defendant did not object on the record after the instructions were settled. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. On appeal, the defendant argues that the instruction should have been given and that the error requires reversal.

Evidentiary errors are preserved without objection because the appellate court reads the transcript. A court of appeals may reverse for an error only if both parties agree it was harmful. Harmless error requires automatic reversal whenever the district court made any mistake. A party generally must object to a jury instruction on the record, stating distinctly the matter objected to and the grounds, and preserved errors still warrant relief only if they affect substantial rights.
