TheWyoming Supreme Court is thehighest court in theU.S. state ofWyoming. The Court consists of aChief Justice and fourAssociate Justices. Each Justice is appointed by theGovernor of Wyoming from a list of three nominees submitted by the judicial nominating commission,[1] for an eight-year term.[2] One year after being appointed, a new justice stands for retention in office on a statewide ballot at the next general election.[3] If a majority votes for retention, the justice serves the remainder of the term and may stand for retention for succeeding eight-year terms by means of a nonpartisan retention ballot every eight years.[3] A justice must be a lawyer with at least nine years' experience in the law, at least 30 years old, and a United States citizen who has resided in Wyoming for at least three years.[4] Justices must retire when they reach 70 years of age.[5]
The five Justices select the Chief Justice from amongst themselves. The person chosen serves as Chief Justice for four years. However,Richard V. Thomas ofCheyenne, a justice from 1974 to 2001, was chief justice only for two years (1985–1986).
