Maine Outline of the Trial is a procedural guideline used by attorneys to ensure a fair trial in the state of Maine. It sets out the rules and procedures for conducting a trial from beginning to end, including pre-trial motions, jury selection, opening statements, presentation of evidence, closing arguments and jury instructions. There are two types of Maine Outline of the Trial: Standard and Simplified. The Standard Maine Outline of the Trial includes the following stages: # Preliminary Matters — This stage involves the attorney’s introduction of the case, pre-trial motions, jury selection, and the void dire process. # Opening Statements — This is where the attorneys present their case to the jury. # Presentation of Evidence — This is where the attorneys present their evidence to the jury. This can include witness testimony, documents, photographs, and other evidence. # Closing Arguments — This is where the attorneys present their final arguments to the jury, summarizing their case and trying to persuade the jury to rule in their favor. # Jury Instructions — This is where the judge explains the law to the jury and instructs them on how to evaluate the evidence presented. # Jury Deliberation — This is where the jury meets to discuss the case and decide on a verdict. The Simplified Maine Outline of the Trial uses the same stages as the Standard Outline, but condenses them into a more streamlined process. This includes eliminating the pre-trial motions and jury selection phases and allowing the attorneys to make their opening statements directly after the judge’s instructions. Additionally, the Simplified Outline does not require the jury to deliberate on the verdict but instead allows them to make their decision immediately after closing arguments.
