The Wyoming Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday, Oct. 15, at the University
of Wyoming College of Law.
The court will first hear arguments in Albany County Board of Commissioners, Aaron Applehans v. Ivinson Memorial Hospital (S-26-0083). Immediately following, the court will hear arguments in Saviol M. Saint Jean v. State of Wyoming (S-26-0097).
“Whenever we hold oral arguments outside Cheyenne, we select cases that engage attendees
and highlight important areas of the law,” says Chief Justice Lynne Boomgaarden. “This
session will offer UW students and the broader Laramie community the opportunity to
observe how the court works through and decides real legal disputes.”
“The College of Law is excited to continue this long-standing tradition that gives
students the opportunity to witness oral arguments in person,” Dean Julie Hill says.
“We are grateful that each justice takes time to mentor our students.”
Following the oral arguments, the justices will hold a question-and-answer session
with UW law students.
The court will convene at 9 a.m. in Room 178 at the Brimmer Legal Education Center.
Oral arguments are open to the public and UW students.
Under the rules of the Wyoming Supreme Court, audio and video recordings, as well
as photography, are prohibited during proceedings. Additionally, weapons, signs, pamphlets,
bags or food/drink beyond water are not allowed.
Additional details, including case information and a live audio broadcast link, are available on the Wyoming Judicial Branch website.
