Elizabeth A. Richards

Elizabeth (Beth) Richards grew up in several different states across the Midwest before earning her Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. She moved to the Tetons to explore the mountains, then spent a year in northern Minnesota taking flying lessons and running dog sleds, before returning to Jackson Hole to attend law school at the University of Wyoming College of Law, where she is an invited member of the Order of the Coif. After law school, Beth clerked for the Idaho Supreme Court for one year and then for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for one year, before working at a small nonprofit environmental law firm in Boise. She ultimately moved back to Jackson and joined The Spence Law Firm as an associate. Beth is especially skilled at detailed legal research and thorough case preparation, with a demonstrated ability to quickly master new technical subjects including crane engineering, airbag components, copyright law, and removal statutes. She is highly regarded as an exceptional legal writer.
