Site visitors will initially view a list of titles, so be as descriptive as possible to capture their attention. Titles can be up to 100 characters in length and should include a geographic location. Do not use ALL CAPS.

Ad text

Blind box service for online ads can be arranged through Karen Richter, (800) 811-2230, or (608) 825-3902.

All ads are edited and formatted by the State Bar to a consistent style. Text in all caps, bold, italics, underline, or any other special effects will be removed prior to posting. You may create a new paragraph at any point by pressing the "Enter" key on your keyboard.

Select a start date

Ads will appear online upon approval, usually within 24 hours if received during regular business hours. You may enter a later start date if desired.

Select the number of weeks you want your ad appear. You have the ability to cancel or extend your ad at any time. To do so, click on the button at the top of any of the Classified Ads page called "Renew/cancel ad" or the "Renew/cancel ad" link on the left side navigation. You can extend your ad by clicking the "Renew" button (this adds the item to your shopping cart). End the ad by clicking the "Expire" button.

Upload your logo or another image by pressing the "Browse" button, select the image from your files that you would like to include, and press "OK." Logos and/or images should be no wider than 150 pixels. There is no additional charge for a logo or image in your ad. (How to include a logo or image.)

Step Three:

Preview your ad and make sure contact information is correct. If the ad is not correct, use your browser's "Back" button to make any changes.

Step Four:

Review the duration of the ad, expressed in weeks, and price before you complete your order.

Proceed to checkout, where you will be asked for your credit card information, and complete your order.

It is the practice of the State Bar of Wisconsin to accept advertising on any subject and for any product of service which is not illegal. The State Bar of Wisconsin may require modification of, or reject, advertising which in the judgment of its staff creates unacceptable risk of civil or criminal liability for the State Bar, violates the Wisconsin Rules of Professional Conduct, or whose embodiment is in bad taste. Any person aggrieved by a staff decision under this policy may seek review by the Communications Committee whose decision shall be final.

Note: Employment ads inconsistent with Wis. Stat. chapter 111 are not accepted. To avoid any implications of age discrimination, the State Bar of Wisconsin does not post any employment ads that cap the number of years' experience, i.e. "one to three years experience." Please remove the maximum number of years experience and consider rewording to "a minimum one year experience."
