W. Va. R. Jud. Disciplinary P. 4.6

The Judicial Hearing Board shall have power to issue subpoenas or any other lawful process through its Chairperson or the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals. The Chairperson of the Judicial Hearing Board and the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals shall prepare and have available for issuance at the request of any party, subpoenas returnable before the Board for attendance of witnesses or for the production of documentary evidence. Subpoenas and other processes of the Judicial Hearing Board may be served in accordance with the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure. The failure of any person without adequate excuse to obey a subpoena or other process of the Judicial Hearing Board shall constitute contempt of the Board. All witnesses shall be entitled to such witness fees and expenses as in any civil proceeding in this State. The Judicial Hearing Board may punish breaches of order and unprofessional conduct in its presence by censure or exclusion from the hearing or may invoke the aid of any circuit court in keeping order. Such court, in case of refusal of any person to maintain order before the Judicial Hearing Board, shall issue an order requiring such person to maintain order. Any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as contempt thereof. The Judicial Hearing Board may, in its discretion, designate a person to serve as bailiff.
