Rule 1006  Summaries.  The contents of voluminous writings, recordings, or photographs which cannot conveniently be examined in court may be presented in the form of a chart, summary, or calculation.  The originals, or duplicates, shall be made available for examination or copying, or both, by other parties at reasonable time and place.  The court may order that they be produced in court. [L 1980, c 164, pt of §1]

RULE 1006 COMMENTARY
