Giving Day 2026 has come to a close and we are pleased to announce that we met the 175 donor challenge unlocking a $35,000 gift to College of Law scholarship funds. We are grateful to every donor, whether small or large.

Donors are a bit like the many Brown-eyed Susans that we find on campus. Every one is a little different, but together they brighten the day of every student that passes by.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Our Giving Day is off to a great start! So far 88 people have supported the College of Law. Thank you to everyone who has already joined the giving club.

We are slightly more than half way to the donor total to meet our 175 donor challenge and unlock $35,000 for student scholarships. Don’t wait! Giving Day ends on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at noon.

For those of you hoping to make your donation go even further, don’t miss out on the Big Final Match. Starting at 10:00 am gifts up to $1,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar until the $150,000 in are gone. Help us bring some of those funds to the College of Law.

At the University of Wyoming College of Law, our first priority is preparing our students to be excellent attorneys. That means seeing the potential in every student and removing barriers that stand behind them and their legal careers.

This Giving Day, your gift to the College of Law does exactly that. We ask that you give special consideration to our scholarship fund. Scholarships attract talented students, let them focus on their studies, and send them into the profession free to choose public service, a small town practice, or other careers consistent with their goals.

Giving Day is a great time to give because the first $10,000 donated to law student scholarships will be matched dollar for dollar by UW College of Law graduate Greg Dyekman.

In addition, the Dean’s Advisory Board has challenged us to reach 175 individual donors. If we do, they will donate $35,000 to law scholarship funds. Even a gift of $5 makes a difference toward this challenge.

But don’t wait! Giving Day lasts only 24 hours, from noon on October 21 to noon on October 22. Donate here: https://give.uwyo.edu/schools/UniversityofWyoming/giving-day-2026/pages/law

Many Thanks!

Dave Owen, Associate Dean for Research and Albert Abramson ’54 Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California College of Law, San Francisco, delivered this year’s Frank J. Trelease Lecture. The lecture honors former UW Law Dean Trelease who, during his career at the University of Wyoming, was the nation’s leading water law expert.

Professor Owen evaluated the ways different states have allocated and administered water rights. His research was informed by interviews with leading water administrators and attorneys in several different states. Professor Owen delivered a thought-provoking and entertaining evening.

We are grateful to Professor Jason Robison, JD Grindle, and all of the other students, faculty, and staff who organized Professor Owen’s visit.

Despite the first snow of the season, the Wyoming Supreme Court made it over the summit from Cheyenne to hear oral arguments at the College of Law. Following the two cases, the justices held a question and answer session with students and community members. They discussed judicial philosophy, statutory interpretation, the weight of being a justice, docket management, the career path to judgeships, presenting alternative arguments without losing credibility, and more. We are grateful to both the Court and the arguing attorneys for taking this opportunity to mentor our students.

For the last two days, the Robert R. Rose, Jr. Voir Dire Competition tested College of Law students on their jury selection skills. The team of Courtney Holmes and Hogan Smith took the top spot. Carson Parker and Saber Smith were the runners-up.

The competition relies on a large group of volunteers organized by Marcia Shanor and the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association. Justice John Fenn, Judge Robin Cooley, and Bob Rose judged the final round. Several attorneys provided coaching and judged earlier rounds. People from throughout the community volunteered as jurors. (That’s right, people VOLUNTEERED for jury duty.) Professor Melissa Alexander and students Ryan Bainter, Shoshana Sangros, Peri Hennigar, and Laeona Frank provided logistical support.

Congratulations to all of the competitors, and thank you to all the volunteers.
