Maine Restyling Note [November 2014]

Maine Rule 106 is a little broader than its federal counterpart, in that it
authorizes the introduction in evidence of a writing or other parts of a writing
that is “utilized” in court, not just admitted. This is to allow a party to attempt
to counteract potentially incomplete or misleading handling or reference to
writings in court even if they are not formally offered in evidence. See Maine
