About Catherine E. DiSanto
Catherine DiSanto earned her undergraduate degree in English and French from Davidson College before working with first-time juvenile offenders at a social services nonprofit in Jackson, Wyoming. She then attended the University of Wyoming College of Law, where she graduated with honors and was selected to the Order of the Coif. She wrote for and edited the Wyoming Law Review, served as a legal writing teaching assistant, and interned at The Spence Law Firm. Her practical experience included judicial externships at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Ninth Judicial District of Wyoming, and she received the Janet D.
