Freudenthal, U.S. District Court Judge; Nancy Guthrie, Former Wyoming District Court Judge; Mary Throne, Wyoming House of Representatives; Cathy Connolly, Wyoming House of Representatives; Cathy MacPherson, Past President, Wyoming State Bar; and Gay Woodhouse, Past President, Wyoming State Bar and Former Wyoming Attorney General.  Ruth McGregor, Former Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, also participated and provided the Arizona perspective.
