M.R. Evid. 615
EXCLUDING WITNESSES
At a party’s request or on the court’s own initiative, the court may order
witnesses excluded so that they cannot hear other witnesses’ testimony. But
this rule does not authorize excluding:
(a) A party who is a natural person;
(b) An officer or employee of a party that is not a natural person, after being
designated as the party’s representative by its attorney; or
(c) A person whose presence a party shows to be essential to presenting
the party’s claim or defense.
