Wyoming: AI rules for lawyers

What this means for lawyers

In the federal District of Wyoming, General Order No. 25-01 (13 May 2025) warns that AI-generated citations to non-existent cases are strictly prohibited and sanctionable under Rule 11. It applies to represented and self-represented litigants alike.

Wyoming's Rule 1.1 Comment [8] says you should keep abreast of "the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology". It is a general duty of technology competence, not an AI-specific rule.

No Wyoming Supreme Court AI rule or order, state court AI policy, or Wyoming State Bar AI ethics opinion was found. Treat the general Rules of Professional Conduct (competence, confidentiality, candour, supervision) and ABA Formal Opinion 512 as the working framework, and check the Wyoming courts and State Bar sites before relying on this gap.

Check the individual judge's or state court's procedures before filing. The absence of a general rule does not rule out a requirement from an individual judge, and judges' orders were not searched one by one.

As at 31 October 2026.

Telling the court and the client

  Court disclosure: no rule found in the sources read. D. Wyo. General Order 25-01 sets no AI disclosure or certification duty, and no Wyoming state court rule was found. Client disclosure/consent: no rule found. No Wyoming-specific AI guidance on client disclosure or consent was located; the general informed-consent and communication duties in the Rules of Professional Conduct still apply.
