008-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-10

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 1-10 - Confidentiality

All information provided to the Program staff and GALs shall be confidential and shall not be released or admitted in a court proceeding unless otherwise ordered by a court. In no event shall communications between a child and the child's GAL be admitted, without the child's informed consent, even if that information has been provided to Program staff. In a case where a child is unable to give "informed consent" to such a release of privileged communication, the decision of whether to waive the attorney-client privilege is reserved to the GAL. Finally, under Rule 1.6(b) of the Wyoming Rules of Professional Conduct, a GAL may reveal confidential information relating to the representation, without informed consent, to the extent the GAL reasonably believes it is necessary to protect the best interests of the client.
