As amended through January 1, 2018
Rule 226 - Points For Charge And Jury Interrogatories

Points upon which the trial judge is requested to charge the jury in civil litigation shall not exceed twelve (12) in number without leave of court. Points to be requested shall be framed so that each constitutes a single request which may be completely answered by a single affirmation or negation. Counsel for each party shall furnish that party's requested points for charge to the judge and to opposing counsel at the beginning of the trial unless otherwise allowed or directed by the court. Such requests may be supplemented for matters arising during the trial or directed by the court. Such requests may be supplemented for matters arising during the trial that could not have been reasonably anticipated at the beginning of the party's case in chief.

For each requested point for charge, counsel shall cite the legal authority as the basis for which that particular point is requested which citation shall be made immediately following the particular request to which it applies.

Any special interrogatories which are to be requested shall also be framed so that each constitutes a single request which may be answered by simple affirmation or negation.
