Wyoming Supreme Court

About

In 1788, the newly ratified United States Constitution heralded a new form of government. In 1889, Wyoming voters ratified their own constitution, effective on July 10, 1890, the date Wyoming was admitted as a state in the union. These documents, with their subsequent amendments, contain the basic principles of government and the essential rights guaranteed to each citizen of Wyoming. The Wyoming and the United States Constitutions created three separate and co-equal branches of government. Each is charged with unique duties meant to ensure that our constitutional legacy continues to be the birthright of every citizen. The legislative branch, based on the concept of majority rule, makes law through the passage of statutes, which are then enforced by the executive branch. The judicial branch must interpret and enunciate the meaning of the law through the adjudication of disputes. The judicial branch is the branch which reviews the laws as they apply to actual events in the lives of individuals. As envisioned by the founders over two hundred years ago, when the judicial system protects the rights of one, the rights of all remain secure. Our courts exist for the people, businesses, and governmental entities of this great state. Our mission is to provide a fair and impartial forum that is accessible to all for resolution of legal disputes. Our judges, and all members of the judicial branch, are working diligently to make the guarantee of equal justice embedded in our constitution a reality in Wyoming. We are proud of our judges who endeavor every day to fulfill their responsibilities. We invite you to visit our courts to see how they work and encourage you to learn more about our system of justice. Enjoy all that Wyoming has to offer - from cowboy boots to hiking shoes and mountain bikes. Work where you live, and be home every day after work. No state income tax. No commuter traffic. Enjoy world class fishing and hunting.
