Professor Michael Duff was nominated to become a fellow of the College of Workers'
Compensation Lawyers. The CWCL was established to honor those attorneys who have distinguished
themselves in their practice in the field of workers’ compensation. Individuals are
nominated for the outstanding traits they have developed in their practice of twenty
years, or longer, representing plaintiffs, defendants, serving as judges, or acting
for the benefit of all in education, overseeing agencies and developing legislation.
These individuals have to convince their peers, the bar, bench and public that they
possess the highest professional qualifications and ethical standards, character,
integrity, professional expertise and leadership. They have to convince the Board
of Governors of the College that they have a commitment to fostering and furthering
the objectives of the College and have shown significant evidence of scholarship,
teaching, lecturing, and/or distinguished published writings on Workers’ Compensation
or related fields of law.
Professor Duff was nominated by a past president of the National Association of Workers'
Compensation Judiciary. Should he be selected, Professor Duff will join a very exclusive
group of fellows, and will be the first ever fellow to come from Wyoming.
