Counsel for all parties, unless compliance is waived by the court, must, two days before a civil jury trial date, submit to the court a copy of all instructions such counsel proposes to request - in electronic or paper form as directed by the court - and noting thereon the authority or authorities relied upon for such instructions. Counsel may be required to exchange copies of proposed instructions. This rule does not preclude the offering of additional instructions at the trial.
