Amendment History
Laws 1978, SB 276, c. 285, § 107, eff. 10/1/1978; Amended by Laws 2002, HB 1939, c. 468, §26, eff. 11/1/2002.
Plain-English Summary
When one party introduces part of a record, Section 2107 gives the adverse party a right to insist -- right then -- on introducing whatever else, from that record or another one, fairness says should be considered alongside it. The point is to keep a partial excerpt from misleading the fact-finder about what the fuller record shows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if the other side introduces only part of a document?
Section 2107 lets you require the introduction, at that same time, of any other part of that record -- or any other record -- that fairness says should be considered along with it.
Does this rule cover more than the document already introduced?
Yes. It reaches "any other record" that should in fairness be considered contemporaneously with the part already introduced, not just the rest of the same document.
Do I have to wait until closing arguments to introduce the rest of the record?
No. The statute lets the adverse party require introduction "at that time" -- when the first part comes in.
