Jury Instruction Assembly Agent

Jury instructions must cover every element of every claim without contradicting each other, and errors are a common ground for appeal. Before the charge conference, this agent collects the parties' requests, matches them to the pattern instructions for the claims and defenses, and lists differences and objections. It checks that pattern instructions are the current version. It then checks that each element of every claim has an instruction and that no instructions conflict. Gaps and conflicts are listed for the judge, and after the judge's direction it checks again. It drafts the packet and a verdict form consistent with the instructions, flagging any verdict question without a matching instruction. The judge decides the final instructions. Edge case: a pattern instruction was updated after a recent appellate decision, so the agent uses the new version and notes the change.
