(a) Service: When Required. Written motions other than those that

are heard ex parte, written notices, designations of the record on appeal, and

similar papers shall be served upon each of the parties.

(b) Service: How Made. Whenever under these Rules or by an order of

the court service is required or permitted to be made upon a party represented

by an attorney, the service shall be made upon the attorney unless service upon

the party is ordered by the court. Service upon the attorney or upon a party

shall be made in the manner provided in civil actions.

(c) Notice of Orders. Immediately upon entry of an order made on a

written motion subsequent to arraignment the clerk of the Unified Criminal

Docket shall mail or deliver to each party a notice thereof and shall make a note

in the docket of the mailing or delivery.

(d) Filing. Except as provided in Rule 12(b)(3)(A), papers required to

be served shall be filed with the court. Papers shall be filed in the manner

provided in civil actions. All court notices in a case will be sent to the attorney

for the State who has been designated by the District Attorney or Attorney

General to receive notices from a court. Changes in designations of attorneys

to receive notice must be filed with the Office of Information Technology. If

an attorney for the State other than the designee has entered his or her

appearance and wishes to receive notice, that attorney must make

arrangements with the court by filing an appropriate request in the case for

notice. The request must include the attorney’s Maine Bar Registration

Number.

(e) Form of Papers. All papers filed with the court may be typewritten,

printed or otherwise duplicated upon opaque, unglazed paper 8-1/2 X 11

inches in size. The typed or printed matter must be double spaced except for

quotations, head notes and footnotes and must be legible. All typed or printed

matter must appear in at least 12-point type, except that footnotes and

quotations may appear in 11-point type. Only one side of the paper may be

used. Each paper shall contain a caption setting forth the name of the court,

the county or location in which the action is pending, the docket number, the

title of the case, and a brief descriptive title of the paper.

(f) Condensed Transcripts. All transcripts of trial court

proceedings held in the District Court or the Superior Court shall be reproduced

in accordance with M.R. Civ. P. 5(i)(2).
