Citizenship-Residence-Age-Character.

No one shall be admitted to practice in this state who is not a citizen of the United States, a bona fide resident of this state, 21 years of age, and of good moral character, which last shall be certified by a member of the bar of this court or a judge of this state.

Application.

The petition, verified by oath of the applicant, shall be directed to the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Cheyenne, Wyo., and shall be referred to the State Board of Law Examiners. Such petition shall in all cases contain statements as to applicant's full name, place and date of birth, and, if foreign born, the facts showing that he is a citizen of the United States, the places and periods of residence and occupation during the last preceding five years, and names and addresses of five persons acquainted with the applicant during said period. The petition shall also contain statements as to petitioner's educational advantages, exclusive of legal studies, where, when, for how long, and under whose supervision legal studies have been pursued, and the works read in the course of such legal studies. The petitioner shall also state the place at which he prefers to be examined, and, if at some place other than the capital, the reason therefor. Application must be accompanied by a fee of $15, which shall entitle the candidate to two examinations, and no more; the second being applied for not later than one year after the first.

General Education.

Although no certain degree of preliminary education is required, the rules direct that the applicant shall state in his petition the extent of the same.

Term of Study.

The candidate shall have studied law at least three years, either in or under the supervision of a law school in the United States, or under the supervision of a practicing attorney or judge of this state, or partly under one system and partly under the other; and the petition shall show where and with whom such legal studies have been pursued and the works read in the course of study.

Examination-Regulations-Scope-Time and Place of Holding. Examinations are held at the capital on the second day of each regular term of the Supreme Court, and at such other times as may be deemed necessary by the Board of Examiners. Such examinations shall be upon written questions prepared by said board, and may, in the discretion of the board, be conducted in the district or county of his residence, by one or more examiners, or the district judge, or some person selected by the board. The questions and answers shall be returned to the board, who shall report its findings thereon to the Supreme Court. If the petitioner's abilities are sufficient, a license shall be awarded by the court, and the oath of attorney administered.

Admissions of Attorneys from Other Jurisdictions.

An attorney who has been regularly admitted to practice in the highest court of another state or territory may, in the discretion of the court, be admitted in this state without examination, upon filing with his petition the certificate or license showing such admission, or a certified copy of the record of such admission under seal of court; also the certificate of a judge of such other state or territory showing the applicant to be in good standing in the courts of such other state or territory. Proof of good moral character shall be by certificate of a judge or two or more attorneys for such other state or territory, or a member of the bar of this state. The petition shall

show the place or places where applicant has practiced law in such other state and the period of practice in each place; whether applicant has been admitted in more than one state or territory, and, if so, the name of each state or territory, together with the dates of admission as near as possible; also the period of practice and places of residence in each such state or territory. The petition must also be accompanied by the names and addresses of five persons, preferably judges or members of the bar, of such other state or territory. The admission fee is $10.

Miscellaneous.

Whenever it is made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that it will be a hardship, owing to distance, expense, or otherwise, for applicant to attend upon a session of the board at the capital, the examination may be conducted in the district or county where the applicant resides, by the district judge or some other competent person to be selected by the board.

WYOMING DECISIONS

1870 to 1917.

A complete set of Wyoming Reports (down to 1917) consists of 23 vols. All decisions of Wyoming subsequent to vol. 2 are reported in the Pacific Reporter, 160 vols. The set also contains all decisions for the last 34 years of California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and all of Arizona and Oklahoma. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Pacific make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. The set costs about one-sixth

as much as the corresponding State Reports. The limited quantity of local case law makes reference to the decisions of other jurisdictions as precedents necessary, and the Pacific Reporter, containing, as it does, the decisions of the neighboring states, is the natural selection. Indeed, the set is regarded as a necessity in all the Western states. Write for price and complete information.
