(33 boxes) University of Wyoming. American Heritage Center. English The records of the Wyoming State Bar consist of correspondence, administrative files, committee files, financial documents, minutes of meetings, lists of deceased members, and copies of the publication "Wyoming Lawyer." History of the Wyoming State Bar

The Wyoming State Bar was organized in 1915 as a voluntary association and was integrated by the state legislature in 1939.

The state bar was established under the authority of the state supreme court to assist in the regulation and improvement of the profession. Its formally stated purpose was to assist and require attorneys to have high standards of integrity, competence, public service, and conduct in order to promote the effective administration of justice.

The bar maintained boards for admissions, continuing legal education and professional responsibility. The bar also maintained various committees, including committees for fee-dispute resolution, clients' security funds, and the unauthorized practice of law.

 Scope and Content

The collection includes correspondence, minutes from various meetings, including the annual Bar meetings, financial documents, lists of current members and deceased members, documents related to various committees formed to address legal issues, and copies of the publication "Wyoming Lawyer." Correspondence includes letters and memos from the State Bar of Wyoming to its members and other legal organizations.

Arrangement of the Collection

The collection is arranged by decade: 1911-1920, 1921-1930, 1931-1940, 1941-1950, 1951-1960, 1961-1970, 1971-1980, 1981-1990, and 1991-2010. Which decade an individual file goes into was determined by the document in that file with the earliest date. Thus, if the documents in a file have a date range of more than a decade, the file is included in the earliest of the decades. Within each decade, the files are arranged in alphabetical order.

There are no access restrictions on the materials for research purposes, and the collection is open to the public.
