Me. R. Evid. 106
If a party utilizes in court all or part of a writing or recorded statement, an adverse party may require the introduction, at that time, of any other part-or any other writing or recorded statement-that in fairness ought to be considered at the time.

Maine Restyling Note [November 2014]
Maine Rule 106 is a little broader than its federal counterpart, in that it authorizes the introduction in evidence of a writing or other parts of a writing that is "utilized" in court, not just admitted. This is to allow a party to attempt to counteract potentially incomplete or misleading handling or reference to writings in court even if they are not formally offered in evidence. See Maine Advisers' Note to Rule 106. This policy choice has been carried over in the restyled Rule.
Federal Advisory Committee Note
The language of Rule 106 has been amended as part of the restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.
