Maine Restyling Note [November 2014]
Maine Rule of Evidence 702 is similar to its federal counterpart. Maine did not adopt the final subparagraphs of Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and that omission is carried through in the restyled Rule.
Federal Restyling Committee Note
The language of Rule 702 has been amended as part of the restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.
