Rule 13 - Procedural rights of judge (a) To evidence; counsel; witnesses. Once a formal proceeding has commenced, a judge shall have the right and reasonable opportunity to defend against the allegations made against the judge by the introduction of evidence, to be represented by counsel, and to examine and crossexamine witnesses. Such proceeding shall be governed by the Wyoming Rules of Evidence. The judge may retain and have the assistance of counsel at the judge's own expense. Appearance of counsel constitutes an appearance by the judge. The judge shall also have the right to the issuance of subpoenas for attendance of witnesses to testify or produce books, documents, tangible things, and other evidentiary matters in accordance with these rules. (b) Transcript of testimony. When a transcript of the testimony has been prepared at the Commission's expense, a copy thereof shall, upon request, be available for purchase by the judge and counsel in connection with the proceedings. In the event the Commission does not order a transcript, the judge shall have the right, without any order or approval of the Commission, to have all or any testimony in the proceedings transcribed at the judge's expense. (c) Judge incompetent. If the judge has been adjudged incompetent by a court of competent jurisdiction or if it appears to the Commission at any time during the proceedings that the judge is not competent, the Commission may appoint legal counsel unless the judge has a guardian. In the appointment of such legal counsel, consideration shall be given to the wishes of the judge's immediate family. Whenever these rules provide for serving or giving notice or sending any matter to the judge, such notice or matter shall be served, given, or sent to counsel for the judge.
