Former AG Woodhouse censured by Wyoming Supreme Court
Gay Woodhouse (R), a former Wyoming attorney general, was publicly censured Wednesday by the state Supreme Court.
A Wyoming State Bar panel found she violated two rules of professional conduct in a 2020 lawsuit between two corporations that ran a Cheyenne gym modeled after the TV show “American Ninja Warrior.”
Public censures are little more than a slap on the wrist for lawyers, though they typically come with a fine. Woodhouse will have to pay a total of $800 in administrative fees and costs to the Bar.
According to the panel, Woodhouse was found to have a conflict of interest in the case and had made a claim without legal or factual basis during litigation.
