Elder Law Resources for Wyoming Attorneys and Residents
The George W. Hopper Law Library at the University of Wyoming College of Law has a collection of elder law materials available for the use of Wyoming residents. Thanks to a grant from the Wyoming Center on Aging, they were able to add more books to the library's collection that address important issues in elder law, such as elder abuse, health care decision-making and financial planning. There are resources that would be helpful to attorneys and their clients.
Provided is a list of these resources in the form of a guide (https://uwyo.libguides.com/ elderlaw) which includes not only these books but also freely available resources, such as websites, blogs and podcasts.The law library lends directly to Wyoming attorneys. If you are interested in borrowing one of the books listed, please contact the library at lawref@uwyo. edu.
