Ala. R. P. Ct. Jud. 10
The process and procedure before the court shall be as simple and direct as reasonably may be. Except where inappropriate, or otherwise provided for by these rules, the provisions of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure and the rules of evidence used in civil cases in Alabama shall govern proceedings before the court; but the allegations of the complaint must be proved by clear and convincing evidence, and no judge may be compelled to give evidence against himself or herself; provided, however, that a judge who chooses to testify on his or her own behalf shall be subject to cross-examination.
