Except as otherwise directed by the Court, in all cases tried to a jury, any proposed
instructions must be filed at least 7 days before the scheduled trial date. Each instruction must be
set forth on a separate page, numbered and identified appropriately by the party submitting it,
bearing at its foot a citation of the authority in support of the instruction. Instructions must be
filed as a group together with a cover sheet in pleading form and a certificate of service.
