While this rule is intended to apply to complex civil cases, there may be other types of civil cases in which notebooks may be appropriate or useful. Resources, including guidelines for use and recommended notebook contents, are available in Bench Handbook: Jury Management (CJER, rev. 2006, p. 59).
