Wyoming Supreme Court to hold oral arguments in Historic Supreme Court Room Feb. 10

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – The Wyoming Supreme Court will hold oral arguments on Tuesday, Feb. 10, in the Historic Supreme Court Room of the Wyoming State Capitol as part of the Wyoming Semiquincentennial celebration, commemorating 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

The Court will hear three cases throughout the day, beginning at 9 a.m., with additional arguments scheduled at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

At 11 a.m., the Cheyenne League of Women Voters will deliver a special presentation on the history of prohibition in Wyoming and the United States. The League’s presentation aims to deliver an engaging and informative look at this turbulent chapter in legal and social history.

“As we commemorate the Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of our nation, in 2026 the Wyoming Supreme Court will hold a total of four special sessions in the Historic Supreme Court Room,” said Justice Kari Gray, who serves on the Wyoming Semiquincentennial Planning Task Force. “These sessions spotlight the importance of representative government, the separation of powers and the role of each branch in safeguarding our democracy. This location in this venerable space, where Wyoming pioneered women’s suffrage as the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869, highlights Wyoming’s enduring contributions to America’s heritage and leadership. ”

The Historic Supreme Court Room in the Wyoming State Capitol served as the site of the Constitutional Convention in 1889, as Wyoming sought statehood.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
