After a trial, a jury provides its findings on individual elements of the case, which the judge then uses to determine the final judgment. What type of verdict has the jury issued?
A special verdict involves the jury answering specific questions about the factual elements of the case, which the judge then uses to make a final decision based on the law. This contrasts with a general verdict, where the jury determines the outcome on liability and damages without separate findings.
