Organizational History

The University of Wyoming College of Law was founded in 1920.  Classes were held on one floor of the University library building until the College of Law moved to a separate facility in 1953.  Because of increasing class size, the College of Law relocated to its current building in 1977.   Considerable library space and a variety of other rooms were added to the building in 1993.  The building contains three classrooms, a moot courtroom, two seminar rooms, the law library, and faculty and staff offices.  The College is approved by the American Bar Association and its graduates are eligible for admission to the bar in every state.  In addition, the College is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. Membership requires an adequate teaching staff and law library, a sound educational program, and adherence to prescribed standards for admission and graduation of students.

Scope and Content

The collection contains assorted materials relating to the operations of the College of Law including, but not limited to, court documents, correspondence, lecture materials, informational materials, speeches, and committee minutes and reports, photographs and one audiocassette tape.  The collection has been arranged alphabetically by topic.
