Courts Label Colors 2012.doc

This memorandum is an administrative directive issued by the Administrative Office of the Courts in Portland, Maine, establishing standardized label color-coding requirements for court filing systems. The memorandum, dated July 2011, specifies mandatory color assignments for thirteen different case type abbreviations to ensure compliance with current court practices and maintain consistency across filing operations. The color-coding scheme assigns specific colors to case types including CV (Blue), FM (Purple), SA (Orange), RE (Green), SC (Yellow), AP (Pink), MH (Dusty Pink), PA (Apple Red), AD (unspecified), PC (Light Pink), CR (Red), JV (Brown), AR (Gray), and VI (Buff).

This directive serves as a supporting document for the open shelf filing contract for calendar year 2012 and establishes the operational standards that vendors or internal court staff must follow when preparing labeled materials. The color-coding system is mandatory for all parties involved in court filing operations and represents a critical procedural requirement for contract performance. No pricing information, bidding timelines, or financial terms are contained within this memorandum, as it functions solely as a technical specification document to ensure standardized compliance across Maine's court system.
