This is the large Moot Court Room for the University of Wyoming. Having been in most of the courtrooms in the state I can safely say that its one of the nicest in the entire state.
The back half, or gallery half, of the courtroom has a moveable wall that can open up to allow greater space, or perhaps just more conventional space in the courtroom and also allow the courtroom to function as a lecture hall. Viewed as a courtroom, what we see here in front of us is the bar of the court.
When I went to UW's College of Law it didn't have a moot courtroom at all, now it has two, a large one and a small one (I have yet to see the small one). This particular room was the large classroom at the time. It is quite a facility and I guess it demonstrates how much the physical assets of the College of Law have improved in the past three decades.
According to the University, the College of Law will allow the courtroom to be used by the state courts upon request, if it is not already in use.
