Equal Justice Wyoming was formerly the Wyoming Center for Legal Aid. We are a judicial branch entity created under the Wyoming Supreme Court that came into existence on April 19, 2011, and is authorized and funded by the Wyoming Civil Legal Services Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 5-2-121 et. seq. The Act charges Equal Justice Wyoming with developing a statewide program for improving access to justice and providing civil legal services to Wyoming’s low-income citizens. Equal Justice Wyoming is Wyoming’s first state-sponsored civil legal aid program, and it is funded by revenue that is generated through increased court-filing fees.
