Purpose

Wyoming Law Students for Equal Justice is willing to abide by all policies established by the University of Wyoming.

The Wyoming Law Students for Equal Justice (WLSEJ) provides a forum for students at the University of Wyoming (UW) College of Law interested in public interest/pro bono service. Our organization's goals are to increase awareness of public interest law by providing a forum for discussion of public interest issues, as well as an opportunity for law students to do pro bono public interest work. WLSEJ encourages participation in public interest work by organizing events and opportunities for student participation such as guest speakers, community volunteering, and further research into the resources necessary to expand supervised clinical work to meet unmet legal needs of Wyoming citizens.
