California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 8 — Of the Trial and Judgment in Civil Actions, Chapter 4 — Trial by Jury, Article 3 — The Verdict, Section 624
The verdict of a jury is either general or special. A general verdict is that by which they pronounce generally upon all or any of the issues, either in favor of the plaintiff or defendant; a special verdict is that by which the jury find the facts only, leaving the judgment to the Court. The special verdict must present the conclusions of fact as established by the evidence, and not the evidence to prove them; and those conclusions of fact must be so presented as that nothing shall remain to the Court but to draw from them conclusions of law.
Notes
Defines jury verdicts as general or special: a general verdict resolves all or some issues generally for a plaintiff or defendant, while a special verdict finds facts only and leaves judgment to the court. A special verdict must state factual conclusions established by the evidence, not the evidence itself, leaving only legal conclusions for the court.
