Description

Guidelines for Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Bench Trials Wyoming Guidelines for Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Bench Trials are used by the court to provide guidance and structure for the parties' presentation of evidence in a bench trial. The Guidelines consist of two main parts: (1) Findings of Fact, which are the court's statement of the facts that have been proven in the case; and (2) Conclusions of Law, which are the court's statement of the legal principles that apply to the facts. The Guidelines for Findings of Fact require the parties to provide a narrative statement of the facts proven in the case. The narrative should include relevant legal citations and should provide a comprehensive overview of the facts as they have been established through the evidence presented. The Findings of Fact should include any disputed facts, as well as any facts that could be in dispute. The Guidelines for Conclusions of Law require the parties to provide a detailed explanation of the applicable legal principles. The explanation should include relevant legal citations and should provide an overview of the legal principles that apply to the facts as established in the Findings of Fact. The Conclusions of Law should include any legal issues that could be in dispute, as well as any legal principles that could be applied to the facts. There are two types of Wyoming Guidelines for Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Bench Trials: (1) the Uniform Guidelines for Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Bench Trials; and (2) the Wyoming Standards for Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Bench Trials. The Uniform Guidelines are the more widely used of the two and provide a general set of rules that the court may use in its decision-making process. The Wyoming Standards are more specific and provide a more detailed set of rules for the court to use when deciding a case.
