A '''verdict''' is a conclusion, as to fact or law, that forms the basis for the court's judgment. Compare with a [[directed verdict]].
A '''verdict''' is a conclusion, as to fact or law, that forms the basis for the court's judgment. Compare with a directed verdict: A directed [[verdict]] is a verdict rendered by a [[judge]] who takes the issue away from a [[jury]]. Strictly speaking, the judge directs the jury to render the particular verdict.
Typically a directed verdict is in a case in which the [[plaintiff]] has failed to present on the facts of his case proper [[evidence]] for jury consideration, and the trial judge orders the entry of a verdict without allowing the jury to consider it.
