June 1, 2022 – The
Wisconsin Law Foundation supports programs that enhance the public's knowledge of the justice system, encourages diversity in the profession, and assists young lawyers with taking up leadership roles.
Thanks to the generous challenge pledge of Law Foundation board member attorney Kevin Lyons and his wife, Roseann Lyons, donations since July 1, 2021, have been doubled.
There’s Still Time to Double Your Donation
The challenge campaign ends June 30, 2022 – there is still time to donate to make twice the impact.
It's easy to give: just add your contribution to line 9 on your State Bar dues statement. If a colleague fills out your form for you, just let them know you wish to make a contribution to the Wisconsin Law Foundation.
If you have already sent in your dues statement, you can make a donation online at
wisbar.org/wlf.
"We sincerely appreciate any contribution amount. Thank you for your consideration and support," says Peggy Herlitzka, Foundation president.
Wisconsin Law Foundation Supports Vital Programs in Wisconsin
There is no doubt about it: the generosity of State Bar members provides support for the many programs of the Wisconsin Law Foundation.
Over the past decade, the Law Foundation has become a significant source toward making a meaningful impact for important law-related programs throughout the state.
These programs include High School Mock Trial – which provides a very real experience for students to learn about our justice system and gain a fundamental understanding and appreciation of the rule of law and the vital role it plays in a civil society. These students also learn many valuable life skills.
The Law Foundation provides funding for a broad array of programs in communities across Wisconsin, including:
developing the next generation of legal and civic leaders;
promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives;
supporting teen courts and restorative justice efforts; and
providing grants to attorneys providing services in rural and underserved communities.
To meet the demand and help address issues caused by the pandemic, the Law Foundation is working hard to increase its ability to support these programs.
