Student Clinic Director: Matt Misslin

Born and raised in Minnesota, I came to Wyoming in 2005 and got into law enforcement soon thereafter. As my wife and I started a family, I began looking for more ways to serve my community. Around the age of 35, I returned to college and earned a Master of Public Administration degree. I applied the MPA in my work as a police officer for a few years but, again, felt there was more I could do to help. 

As the Student Director of the Civil Legal Services Clinic, I have found the ultimate route to serve people in Wyoming who are truly in need and would likely otherwise go unrepresented.

Educating the younger generations is another passion of mine. I trained new officers starting at my agencies and became certified as an instructor in multiple areas. I trained the public for safe service of alcohol standards. I have coached soccer, both professionally and as a volunteer at the high school and college level, all the way down to my children's youth teams. Whether it is coaching, mentoring, or formalized training and education, there is nothing more satisfying than fostering in others a love for the things I am passionate about.

After graduation, I hope to continue working in civil litigation in Wyoming and dedicate much of my time to pro bono service around the state. Ideally, I hope to find a position that allows me to pass on my knowledge and drive to help those in need to  upcoming generations of lawyers.
