THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRELIMINARY AND ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE PRESUMPTION OF VALIDITY CREATED FOR PUBLISHED INSTRUCTIONS BY THE PER CURIAM ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS DATED APRIL 19, 1965, EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 1966.

 

The Supreme Court Committee on Model Jury Instructions – Civil  has posted for comment a proposed instruction for Unjust Enrichment – Money Had and Received – Contract Implied at Law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have discovered that the publisher erroneously deleted two instructions from the 2008 edition of the Arkansas Model Jury Instructions – Civil:  

1504  Duty of Referring Physician, Surgeon, or Dentist, and

1505  Imputed Conduct

These instructions are still listed in the table at the beginning of the chapter, but not in the Table of Contents at the beginning of the book.

Each subsequent instruction was renumbered incorrectly (what was 1506 is now 1504, and on down the line).

You should consult the 2007 edition for these missing instructions.
