==Directed verdict==
In a [[jury trial]], a '''directed verdict''' is an order from the presiding [[judge]] to the [[jury]] to return a particular [[verdict]]. Typically, the judge orders a directed verdict after finding that no reasonable jury could reach a decision to the contrary. After a directed verdict, there is no longer any need for the jury to decide the [[Legal case|case]].
 
A judge may order a directed verdict as to an entire case or only to certain issues.
