Rule 1006. Summaries to Prove Content

The proponent may use a summary, chart, or calculation to prove the content of voluminous writings, recordings, or photographs that cannot be conveniently examined in court. The proponent must make the originals available for examination or copying, or both, by other parties at a reasonable time and place. And the court may order the proponent to produce them in court.

Committee Notes

Maine Restyling Note [November 2014] Maine Rule 1006 and former Federal Rule 1006 are substantially identical, other than the Federal Rule's reference to "duplicates," and there is no reason to depart from the language of the restyled Federal Rule.

Advisers' Note to former M.R. Evid. 1006 (February 2, 1976) This rule is in accord with Maine law. State v. Huff, 157 Me. 269, 276, 171 A.2d 210, 214 (1961).
