Wyoming Supreme Court and Wyoming State Bar Foundation Launch Project to Create a Judicial Learning Center
The Wyoming Supreme Court, in collaboration with the Wyoming State Bar Foundation, have initiated efforts to construct a Judicial Learning Center in the Supreme Court Building (within the existing State Law Library) for use by students and adults who want to learn more about the rule of law and our state’s judicial system. The Judicial Learning Center will include interactive exhibits showing the function of the courts and highlighting Wyoming’s legal milestones. This effort is consistent with the work lawyers and judges have done historically to further civics education throughout the state.
The legislature has appropriated funds to assist in this effort which must be matched by private donations. The Wyoming State Bar Foundation will accept all donations. All donors must remain anonymous. Anyone interested in this project can obtain more information by contacting the Wyoming State Bar Foundation at (307) 632-2272.
