The Senior Lawyers Division (SLD) focuses on activities and content
specifically designed to serve the needs and interests of senior
lawyers. We help members stay connected with the State Bar of Wisconsin
and with each other.
Every member of the State Bar of Wisconsin who is 60 years old or older
is eligible for membership in the Senior Lawyers Division.
What is Emeritus Status?
Emeritus status is for attorneys over the age of 70. It allows you to
practice law if you wish, and has all the privileges of active
membership.
As an emeritus member, you will not be subject to any future CLE
requirements. If you are unsure as to whether you have completed all
past requirements, please contact the Board of Bar Examiners, Room 715, 110 E Main St.,
Madison, WI 53703, (608) 266-9760.
As an emeritus member, you will receive full membership benefits
without payment of State Bar dues or Supreme Court Board assessments.
You will pay only for the Wisconsin Lawyers' Fund for Client
Protection when there is an assessment. The assessment ranges from $0 to
$25 per year.
