WYOMING COURT RULES

16 (c) The Board shall, in each case, give consideration to such evidence of moral character it has required along with the character report by the NCBE and shall make independent inquiry and investigation as to the applicant’s moral character and fitness to be a member of the Bar. The Committee may at its discretion, hold further proceedings with the applicant as described in Section IV and shall thereafter report to the Court the results of its findings, together with its recommendation. The Court may on its own motion make such further inquiry and investigation as it deems proper. (d) Applications for admission on motion shall be filed with the Clerk of the Court and shall be accompanied by a fee established by the Board and the Court together with a copy of the applicant’s Request for Preparation of a Character Report to the NCBE. Refunds will not be made in the event an applicant is found ineligible for admission on motion nor in the event of withdrawal of an application. Incomplete applications will not be accepted for filing. Additional investigation fees may be required by the Board, including but not limited to, the expenses necessary for the Board and/or the Committee to obtain records and documents and the fee necessary to pay the services of an investigator, if deemed of assistance to the Board and/or Committee. (e) The Board shall notify the Court of a motion applicant’s eligibility for admission after the Committee has made its recommendation regarding the applicant’s good moral character and fitness to practice law. (f) The Court shall notify each applicant of the applicant’s admission status as promptly as feasible following receipt of the Board’s and the Committee’s recommendations regarding the applicant’s eligibility for admission.
