Alaska R. Evid. 203
Procedure for Taking Judicial Notice
(a) Determining Propriety of Judicial Notice. Upon
timely request, a party is entitled to be heard as to the propriety
of taking judicial notice and the tenor of the matter noticed. In
the absence of proper notification, the request may be made
after judicial notice has been taken. In determining the
propriety of taking judicial notice on a matter or the tenor
thereof, the judge may consult and use any source of pertinent
information, whether or not furnished by a party.
(b) Time of Taking Notice. Judicial notice may be taken
at any stage of the proceeding.
(c) Instructing the Jury. In a civil action or proceeding,
the court shall instruct the jury to accept as conclusive any fact
judicially noticed. In a criminal case, the court shall instruct
the jury that it may, but it is not required to, accept as
conclusive any fact judicially noticed. Judicial notice of any
matter of law falling within the scope of Rule 202 shall be a
matter for the court and not the jury.
