Open Until Filled

GENERAL DESCRIPTION :

Join the Wild Side of Law

The Wyoming Attorney General's Office is looking for a dynamic attorney to join our team and represent one of the most engaging, hands-on, and mission-driven agencies in the state : the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission and Department.

This isn't your average desk job. As legal counsel for the Commission and Department, you'll tackle a wide range of legal matters related to wildlife conservation, public lands, and outdoor recreation. You'll advise the Commission, Department leadership, and staff on federal and state laws governing wildlife management, public meetings and records, property acquisition and use, and rulemaking. Your work will directly support Wyoming's efforts to conserve its iconic wildlife for future generations.

You'll also have the opportunity to provide legal guidance to the Governor, the Governor's office, and on occasion the Wyoming Legislature on high-profile issues affecting wildlife and the outdoors. Litigation is part of the job, too—you'll represent the agencies in both state and federal court and in arbitrations.

If you're a lawyer who wants to work closely with professionals who are passionate about Wyoming's wildlife resources—and if you're ready to combine legal work with a deeper purpose—this is your opportunity to make a difference.

The State of Wyoming's total compensation package is excellent and includes :

• Paid annual and sick leave
• Paid holidays
• Retirement with employer contributions
• Deferred Compensation Plan with employer contributions
• Health insurance with an employer contribution towards premiums
• Insurance options for health, dental, life, vision, ambulance, and short- and long-term disability
• Longevity pay
