# Atlas Commons research objects — civil legal aid capacity for Wyoming (FY2025)

Wyoming's LSC-funded civil legal aid capacity from the LSC Basic Field grant directory, with each figure's status labeled so a consuming agent can weight it correctly: the measured LSC records (provider count, awarded grant dollars, service-area types, and the Census-based poverty population LSC allocates by); one computed figure — LSC funding per person in poverty — a transparent ratio neither LSC nor Census publishes, with its formula disclosed; and the interpretive boundary (what this funding/capacity surface is, and is not).

## Claims

### 1 LSC-funded civil legal aid providers received $1,023,158 in Wyoming (FY2025)

**RECORDED.** The LSC Basic Field grant directory records 1 LSC-funded civil legal aid grantees in Wyoming for fiscal year 2025, awarded $1,023,158 in total. A re-tally of published LSC grant awards.

Source: Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory (FY2025) — https://www.lsc.gov/about-lsc/who-we-are/our-grantees
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory (FY2025); superseded when Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory (FY2025) publishes its next release.

### 64,310 people in poverty live in the LSC service areas covering Wyoming (FY2025)

**RECORDED.** The poverty population in the LSC Basic Field service areas covering Wyoming is 64,310, the figure LSC uses to allocate Basic Field grants. A Census/ACS-based poverty count summed across the state's service areas.

Source: Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory — poverty population (U.S. Census/ACS) — https://www.lsc.gov/about-lsc/who-we-are/our-grantees
Falsifier: Re-tally of LSC's published service-area poverty figures (occurred=true), from a named authority — BUT the underlying poverty count is a U.S. Census/ACS SURVEY ESTIMATE with sampling error, not a hard census enumeration. Superseded with each LSC grant cycle / ACS vintage.

### LSC grant counts by service-area type in Wyoming (FY2025): Basic Field 1, Native American 1

**RECORDED.** Counts of the 1 LSC grants by LSC service-area type: Basic Field 1, Native American 1. A count of grants per LSC-defined service-area category.

Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory (FY2025); superseded when Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant directory (FY2025) publishes its next release.

### LSC civil legal aid funding is $11.86 per person in poverty in Wyoming (FY2025) — a derived ratio

**DERIVED.** Dividing the $762,624 in LSC Basic Field funding for service areas with a reported poverty population by the 64,310 people in poverty there yields $11.86 of LSC civil legal aid funding per person in poverty in Wyoming. A transparent ratio neither LSC nor Census publishes. Both sides EXCLUDE the 1 grant with no LSC-reported poverty population, so the ratio stays set-consistent (it is the funding-to-poverty ratio over the service areas that have a poverty figure, not all grant dollars over a partial population).

Source: Justice Atlas — derived ratio (LSC allocation ÷ service-area poverty population, over the same set of grants) — https://justice-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a constructed ratio, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's calculation, not an LSC/Census figure). Reproduce it: $762,624 ÷ 64,310 = $11.86. Falsified if either input is wrong; it counts ONLY LSC Basic Field funding for grants with a reported poverty figure, not total civil legal aid spending, so it understates total per-capita legal aid.

### What this legal-aid surface is — and is NOT — for Wyoming (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** Every figure above describes LSC Basic Field grant CAPACITY and FUNDING for Wyoming (FY2025). It is NOT all civil legal aid (LSC funds only part of the field; it excludes non-LSC legal aid, pro bono, and self-help), NOT a measure of cases handled, outcomes, or unmet need, and NOT a statement of whether you personally qualify for legal aid. For eligibility and help, use LawHelp.org / your local LSC grantee; for the full justice gap, see LSC's Justice Gap research.

Source: Justice Atlas framing (over the LSC facts above) — https://justice-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not an LSC verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The figures above are LSC records plus one disclosed derived ratio; the four-status labels each, and this is the only interpretation.

### Wyoming sets a 1 year civil statute of limitations for defamation (libel / slander) (Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(v)(B))

### Why these statute-of-limitations periods are NOT your deadline (the L5 boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** The periods above are the statutes Wyoming has on the books. They do NOT tell you YOUR deadline. When a claim "accrues" (starts the clock), whether the discovery rule, tolling, a minor/incapacity, or a statute of repose changes it, and which cause of action even applies, are fact-specific legal determinations. A missed deadline can permanently bar a claim. This atlas informs and routes — it is not legal advice and not a substitute for a licensed attorney. If you may have a claim, consult an attorney in Wyoming immediately; for free civil legal aid see this state's legal-aid page.

Source: Justice Atlas framing (over the statutes above) — https://justice-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing/legal boundary, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a court's ruling on any case) — the lowest-warrant claim. The period+citation claims above are recorded statutes (verifiable at the cited code); this boundary is the only interpretation on the SOL data.
