Sec. 179.50  Conduct at oral hearings or conferences.

    The parties and their representatives must conduct themselves with 
dignity and observe the same standards of practice and ethics that would 
be required of parties in a judicial proceeding. Disrespectful, 
disorderly, or contumacious language or conduct, refusal to comply with 
directions, use of dilatory tactics, or refusal to adhere to reasonable 
standards of orderly and ethical conduct during any hearing constitute 
grounds for immediate exclusion from the proceeding by the presiding 
officer.
