Upon final hearing, who presents the state's case?

The designated attorney for the state is responsible for presenting the state's case during a final hearing. This attorney, typically from the Attorney General's office or a specialized legal department, is specifically trained and equipped to argue cases related to state law and regulations, including those pertaining to real estate matters. Their role is crucial in ensuring that the state’s interests are effectively represented, especially when it comes to enforcing statutes, regulations, and administrative rules that govern real estate practices within Wyoming.

This process underscores the importance of having legal representation that is knowledgeable about both the specific legal framework of real estate and the procedural requirements of hearings. In contrast, the other options provided do not fulfill this role; the governor does not typically represent the state in legal proceedings, the chairperson of the real estate commission generally oversees the proceedings but does not present the case, and the defendant's attorney is focused on representing the interests of their client, rather than acting on behalf of the state.
