The site’s maintainer noticed a stale-looking caption on Rule 89 of the Civil Procedure rules, which prompted a full audit of the site against the Maine Judicial Branch’s current publications and turned up several other discrepancies.

• Rule 89 itself needed no correction here — its text on this site matches the official rule — but its caption still lists “Temporary Practice with Legal Services Organizations,” and it appears that subject was relocated to Maine Bar Admission Rule 11C by a 2024 amendment without the caption being updated to match.
• Civil Procedure: restored a truncated sentence in Rule 46, a missing period in Rule 4A, stale cross-references in Rules 100 and 101, a dropped subsection in Rule 127, and a full rewrite of Rule 126 to match its restructured Title 18-C probate-jurisdiction provisions.
• Criminal Procedure: restored a missing alternative-complaint clause in Rule 3(b) and a missing 2021-era subsection in Rule 4 (with the rest of the rule relettered accordingly), plus several stale table-of-contents captions.
• Evidence: added the October 2025 Rule 804(b)(6) forfeiture-by-wrongdoing hearsay exception, which is not yet folded into the state’s combined PDF, plus several table-of-contents wording corrections.
• Appellate Procedure: fixed several transcription typos (dropped hyphens and spaces).
