What is the Wyoming Center for Legal Aid?
It is a new judicial branch entity created by the Wyoming Supreme Court. The Center
came into existence on April 19, 2011, and is authorized and funded by the Wyoming
Civil Legal Services Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 5-2-121 et. seq. The Act charges the Center
with developing a statewide program for improving access to justice and providing
civil legal services to Wyoming’s low-income citizens. The Center is Wyoming’s first
state-sponsored civil legal aid program, and it is funded by revenue that is generated
through increased court-filing fees.
Who are the Board members and what are their terms of office?
The Wyoming Supreme Court signed an Order dated April 22, 2011, appointing the Center’s
initial Board of Commissioners. The initial Board members serve a term of no less
than two years, while subsequent Board members will serve a term of no less than
three years.
