Wisconsin's legal history
- A History of the Organized Bar in Wisconsin: The mightiest oak tree begins as a tiny sprout, then spends years as a sapling before broadening out into a tall, mature giant. So it was with the State Bar Association in Wisconsin. For 34 years, the seedling organization showed little growth; it grew for another 35, but slowly. Then occurred two years of hectic reorganization, and, eight years later, integration and dynamic expansion. Thus 70 of the first 108 years of the Wisconsin Bar's existence were notable mainly for their inertia - until it flourished in 38 years of dramatic growth and became what is generally conceded to be one of the most effective state bar associations in the country.
