Some Wyoming counties have two practicing attorneys or fewer, and once you subtract the elected county attorney and public defenders, Alison Gee says there's barely enough left to keep a functioning legal system running. The incoming President of the Wyoming State Bar and a rural general practitioner, Gee describes fielding whatever problem walks through her door, a role she jokingly calls being a "law ninja," and explains how the state has leaned on remote hearings, online filing, and borrowed attorneys to patch gaps like its public defender shortage. She makes a case for moving law firms off local servers and onto cloud-based systems with real security controls, and pushes back on the instinct to let AI shortcut legal research given how easily it hallucinates case law. Gee closes on the balance she's trying to strike as incoming president, bringing Wyoming's legal profession into the future without losing the hands-on judgment that only comes from doing the work the hard way first.
