-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.
