Wyo. UPL R. 10
Immunities
(a) Members of the Committee, Bar Counsel, their respective staff, and any other
agents of the Committee shall be immune from suit as provided by statute or common
law for all conduct in the course of their official duties. Immunity from suit shall also
extend, as provided by statute or common law, to complainants and witnesses for all
communications to the Committee or Bar Counsel relating to allegations of unauthorized practice of law.
(b) If a person has been or may be called to testify or to produce a record, document,
or other object in an official proceeding conducted under these rules, such person or Bar
Counsel may file a written application with the Supreme Court requesting the Court to
issue a written order requiring the person to testify or to produce the record, document,
or other object notwithstanding the person’s privilege against self-incrimination. Bar
Counsel shall give the appropriate prosecuting authority notice of any application filed
under this paragraph. Upon consideration of the application and any objection that may
be filed by the appropriate prosecuting authority, the Court may grant the application
and issue a written order under this paragraph if the Court finds that:
(1) production of the testimony, record, document, or other object may be
necessary to protect the public interest; and
(2) the person has refused or is likely to refuse to testify or to produce the record,
document, or other object on the basis of the person’s privilege against self-incrimination.
(c) Where evidence has been obtained under the provisions of this rule through an
order requiring a person to testify or to produce a record, document, or other object
notwithstanding the person’s privilege against self-incrimination, neither that evidence
nor any information directly or indirectly derived from that evidence may be used
against the person in any criminal case except a prosecution for perjury committed in
the course of testifying or in a civil contempt proceeding for failure to comply with the
order.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
