To render a verdict means that a jury agrees upon and returns a written decision into court and hands the decision to the judge sitting at the trial.

Who instructs the jury for rendering a verdict?

Judicial Instructions to the Jury

In brief, the judge's charge will detail to the jurors the applicable laws through which they must discern the facts of a case and render a verdict.

Who can overturn a verdict?

When a Judge Can Overturn a Jury Verdict

If a jury returns a $10 million verdict in a case that clearly is only worth $10,000.00, then the judge can overturn that. This would be on the grounds of the jury award being excessive. Likewise in some states if the jury award is inadequate the judge may overturn the verdict.
