Practice Sections

The Wyoming State Bar currently has 12 practice sections (see below). In an effort to energize these sections, the members of the Executive Committee, along with Executive Director Sleeter Dover, have been meeting via teleconference with the members of each practice section. As a result of these organizational meetings, each section has established leadership and discussed potential goals, projects, and additional resources for its members. Listserves have been set up for each section, and I would encourage you to subscribe to one that would benefit your practice. Log onto the Bar's website at www.wyomingbar.org and click on "Member Services." Each section also has its own toll-free number. These were established by the Bar office so practice sections can meet via teleconference at any time.

These 12 practice sections were set up to be a valuable resource for members of the Wyoming State Bar. I encourage you to get involved and network with your peers. If you are interested in joining a section, visit the Bar's website or contact the Bar office today at (307) 632-9061.

Women's Legal Forum

One of my many goals for my presidency was to host a legal conference for the many incredible female members of the Wyoming State Bar. The first Women's Legal Forum will take place in Lander on April 17 - 18, 2008, at The Inn at Lander. Like any event, this one has taken months to plan, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with the incredible members of the planning committee. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with these fine women. Members include Hon. Marilyn S. Kite, Wyoming Supreme...
