Neil Gorsuch

The University of Wyoming will host U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch this fall. Gorsuch is visiting the UW College of Law Sept. 16-17 in honor of the college’s 100th anniversary. The justice will make two public appearances.

Gorsuch will appear in an afternoon event centered on “Access to Justice” and the release of his recent book, “A Republic, If You Can Keep It,” on Thursday, Sept. 17. Gorsuch will answer questions in a fireside chat format, including selected questions submitted by UW College of Law students.

Organizers of the event plan to reserve about 350 seats in the 685-seat Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall for the UW law school and members of the Wyoming judiciary. Limited tickets will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in July. Tickets will be $10 for UW employees and students, and $25 for the public.

Gorsuch also will speak at the UW College of Law’s Centennial Celebration Gala that same evening at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center. The Supreme Court justice will again answer questions in a fireside chat format, and the evening will include appearances from former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson of Cody and retired Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Marilyn S. Kite. Tickets for the gala dinner celebration will be available beginning in April and will be $175 each.

More details on events and tickets will be made available at a later date.
