Wyoming rural attorney recruitment program.
Wyoming's SF 33 establishes a pilot program to address attorney shortages in rural counties by offering financial incentives to attorneys who practice in qualifying areas. Eligible counties must have under 25,000 residents and fewer than 1.5 attorneys per 1,000 residents, and participating attorneys receive up to $20,000 annually (90% of UW law school tuition) over five years. Funding is split 50% from the Supreme Court, 35% from participating counties, and 15% from the Wyoming State Bar. The program requires annual reports on participation and impacts, with a sunset date to limit its duration.
