Wyo. R. Jud. Ethics Advisory Comm. 6

(a) Requests for formal advisory opinions shall be submitted in writing to

the chairman of the committee and shall be accompanied by a letter or

memorandum describing the facts and discussing the issues presented in the

request.

(b) By concurrence of a majority of its members and subject to the approval

of the Supreme Court, the committee may adopt other procedural rules

relating to requests for advisory opinions and the issuance of opinions.

(c) The committee may render written opinions only by an affirmative vote

of at least three members.

(d) All opinions shall be advisory only, and no opinion shall be binding on the

Wyoming Commission on Judicial Conduct and Ethics in the exercise of its

judicial discipline responsibilities. However, the Wyoming Commission on

Judicial Conduct and Ethics or the Wyoming Supreme Court may consider

compliance with an opinion by the requesting individual to be evidence of a

good faith effort to comply with the Wyoming Code of Judicial Conduct,

provided that compliance with the opinion issued to one judge shall not be

considered evidence of good faith of another judge unless the facts are

substantially the same and the other judge had actual knowledge of and acted

in reliance upon the opinion.

(e) The committee may publish its opinions on the Wyoming Supreme Court

web site, but the name of the judge requesting the opinion and any other

identifying information shall not be included in a published opinion unless the

judge consents to such inclusion in writing.

(f) The State Court Administrator, or his or her designee, as secretary to the

Board of Judicial Policy and Administration, shall maintain the opinions and

records of the committee.
