The Wyoming Supreme Court suspended four lawyers from practicing law in Wyoming after they failed to comply with the state’s Rules for Continuing Legal Education, according to an announcement on April 2.
The suspension highlights the importance of ongoing legal education and adherence to professional standards set by the state. The court’s decision is based on requirements that ensure attorneys remain up-to-date with legal developments and ethical practices.
Under Rule 4 of the Rules of the Wyoming State Board of Continuing Legal Education, every active attorney must complete at least 15 hours of continuing legal education each year, including two hours focused on legal ethics. Attorneys who do not meet this requirement must pay a $300 delinquency fee by March 1 as specified in Rule 10(a), and those recommended for suspension are required to pay an additional $300 noncompliance fee under Rule 10(c).
The following attorneys did not fulfill these requirements for the year 2025: Austin D. Huff from Denver, Colorado; George H. Lugrin from Houston, Texas; Mishary S. Salem from Sacramento, California; and Chase R. Thompson from Johnstown, Colorado.
Individuals seeking more information are encouraged to contact the Wyoming State Bar at (307) 432-2102.
