The court shall disclose to the parties the instructions which it intends to give to the jury. At the same time, parties may tender instructions in duplicate, one copy of which shall be submitted to the opposite party, who shall make objection thereto if so desired. All instructions to the jury shall be given orally by the judge before argument. If the court is a court of record, a record shall be made of all objections to the proposed instructions of the court, and all instructions tendered by the parties and refused by the court shall be filed with the clerk with the endorsement of the action of the court.
Colo. Mun. Ct. R. P. 230
