W.R.C.P. 43
Taking Testimony
(a) In Open Court. — At trial, the witnesses’ testimony must be taken in
open court unless these rules, a statute, the Wyoming Rules of Evidence, or
other rules adopted by the Supreme Court of Wyoming provide otherwise. For
good cause in compelling circumstances and with appropriate safeguards, the
court may permit testimony in open court by contemporaneous transmission
from a different location.
(b) Affirmation Instead of an Oath. — When these rules require an oath, a
solemn affirmation suffices.
(c) Evidence on a Motion. — When a motion relies on facts outside the
record, the court may hear the matter on affidavits or may hear it wholly or
partly on oral testimony or on depositions.
(d) Interpreter. — The court may appoint an interpreter of its choosing; fix
reasonable compensation to be paid from funds provided by law or by one or
more parties; and tax the compensation as costs.
