13-211. Oath to witness.
Do you [and each of you] solemnly swear or affirm under penalty of law that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
USE NOTES
In some courts, the practice is to call all the witnesses before the bench before any evidence is taken and to swear all witnesses at the same time. In other courts, the practice is to swear each witness separately before taking the witness stand. Either practice is acceptable in New Mexico. The foregoing oath is the one that should be used in either event.
