Dear Subscriber:
Thank you for choosing to stay current with this 2024 edition of
A Practical Guide to Evidence in Maine.
Inside, find material on the following topics and more:
-
Motions in limine.
See Chapter 3 for 2024 decisions, including one where the court indicated that parties may file a motion in limine to determine the merits of the defense and thus the admissibility of the evidence relevant to that defense.
-
Subsequent remedial measures; accord and satisfaction.
Chapter 3 adds new discussions of evidentiary exclusions and limitations.
-
Qualification as an expert.
Chapter 12 cites a 2024 decision that distinguishes between lay opinion evidence and expert opinion evidence, and a 2023 case addressing whether opinion testimony is admissible as lay opinion evidence or can only be admitted as expert opinion evidence.
-
Admission of expert testimony.
Chapter 12 offers a recent case decision on the topic of pretrial objections to evidence and whether they must be timely renewed at trial.
We at MCLE trust that you will find this content useful in your litigation practice and valuable in your reference library.
Cordially,
MCLE Press
