Whether ensconced in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution or the Declaration of Rights in the Wyoming Constitution, individual liberty can be vindicated in court. The Wyoming Liberty Group contributes to important cases with amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) briefs when we can provide additional support for constitutional principles that are not or cannot be addressed by other parties. In the near future, the Wyoming Liberty Group will expand its legal center and represent parties directly, and fight for the vindication of founding principles in the state and federal courts.
