Illustrative Aids

(a) PERMITTED USES. The court may allow a party to present an illustrative aid to help the trier of fact understand the evidence or argument if the aid’s utility in assisting comprehension is not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, con- fusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, or wasting time. (b) USE IN JURY DELIBERATIONS. An illustrative aid is not evi- dence and must not be provided to the jury during deliberations unless: (1) all parties consent; or (2) the court, for good cause, orders otherwise. (c) RECORD. When practicable, an illustrative aid used at trial must be entered into the record. (d) SUMMARIES OF VOLUMINOUS MATERIALS ADMITTED AS EVI- DENCE. A summary, chart, or calculation admitted as evidence to prove the content of voluminous admissible evidence is governed by Rule 1006. (As added Apr. 2, 2024, eff. Dec. 1, 2024.) ARTICLE II.
