Order these trial events: Plaintiff's Case, Defendant's Case, Jury Instructions, Verdict.

3, 1, 2, 4
1, 2, 3, 4
2, 3, 1, 4
2, 1, 3, 4

The correct answer is: 1, 2, 3, 4

The plaintiff's case must be presented first, as they are the party bringing forth the lawsuit. This is followed by the defendant's case, in which they present their side of the story. The jury instructions come next, as these are crucial for the jury to understand their role and how to evaluate the case. Finally, the verdict is given by the jury after hearing both sides and considering the instructions. Option A is incorrect because it places the verdict before the jury instructions, which would not make sense. Option C places the defendant's case before the plaintiff's, which goes against the standard procedure. Option D switches the order of the plaintiff's and defendant's cases. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it follows the logical sequence of trial events.
