Miss. L. Coun. Ct. R. 19
At least 24 hours prior to the time that a case is set for trial each of the attorneys shall file his jury instructions with the clerk and submit to opposing counsel a copy of the instructions so filed in the case. If the court deems it necessary and/or justice requires it, the judge may initiate and give appropriate jury instructions in addition to those proposed by the litigants and approved by the Judge. All jury instructions approved by the court may be read to the jury by the judge before final argument begins, and will be made available to the attorneys during their argument and may be taken out by the jury when considering its verdict, and the judge in his discretion, if so requested by the jury, subsequent to retirement to consider its verdict may grant additional written jury instructions, but the judge shall not be put in error for his failure to instruct on any particular point of law unless specifically requested so to do in writing duly filed by the litigants. The unnumbered instructions presented by either party shall eliminate the phrase "The Court instructs the jury for the Plaintiff," and/or "The Court instructs the jury for the Defendant." Instead such written instructions shall leave out the identification of the plaintiff or the defendant.
The attorneys shall dictate their specific objection to the courts written instruction in the record and will be afforded an opportunity to do so in the absence of the jury and may dictate in the record counsels objection to the refusal by the court of any instruction requested and may make such specific objections or make exception to any written instructions given by the Court.
Other than general instructions pertinent to all cases being tried regarding the responsibilities of the jury in determining the facts, the litigants are limited to six instructions unless authorized by the court to have additional instructions in unusual cases where additional instructions might be warranted.
