[Advisory Notes to former Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure]
Advisory Committee Note—1989
[M.R. Crim. P. 36C.] Rule 36C governs the contents of the record on appeal to the Superior Court in juvenile cases.
Rule 36C(a) is drawn, with slight modification, from former District Court Rule 37A(d).
Former District Court Rules 37A(e) and (f) are transferred to Rules 36C(b) and (c), respectively. Rule 36C(d) is drawn, with slight modification, from former District Court Rule 37A(g) and Rule 94(c). Rule 36C(e) is essentially the same as former Rule 94(d). Rule 36C(f) is new and conforms to the equivalent provision in Rule 36A(f).
Advisory Committee Note—1996
[M.R. Crim. P. 36C(d).] See Advisory Committee Note to M.R. Crim. P. 36A(d).
Advisory Committee Notes—2001
[M.R. Crim. P. 36C.] Although juvenile appeals remain unaffected by P.L. 1999, chapter 731, Part ZZZ, because the substance of Rule 36A(e) is now found in Rule 36(g), Rule 36C has been amended to reflect that change. In addition, Rule 36C has been amended to reflect that the name of the entity electronically recording proceedings has been changed from the “Electronic Recording Division of the District Court” to the “Electronic Recording Division of the Judicial Branch.” See also Rules 36, 36A and 37. Further, a new subdivision (f) has been added relating to notice to the parties by the clerk as to the dates for the filing of briefs and that date on which the case will be in order for oral argument to conform it to Rule 36A(d)(1)(C) and (2)(C). Previously the substance of new subdivision (f) was found in Rule 36D(a). Finally, the substance of former subdivision (f) is now in new subdivision (g).
