Maine Judicial Notice is a legal principle recognizing that certain facts may be assumed to be true because of their common knowledge or acceptance in the community. It allows courts to make decisions based on facts that are not necessarily proven in court. In Maine, the courts are allowed to take judicial notice of certain facts, such as laws, regulations, and public records. There are three types of Maine Judicial Notice: mandatory, discretionary, and permissive. Mandatory Judicial Notice requires the court to accept the facts as true without further proof. Discretionary Judicial Notice refers to facts that the court may consider in making a decision but is not required to accept them as true. Permissive Judicial Notice refers to facts that are not relevant to the court’s decision but may be considered by the court at its discretion.
