    July 21, 2010 – For more than 25 years, Wisconsin attorneys, judges, and law-enforcement officials have turned to Traffic Law and Practice in Wisconsin as a guide to the complex and sometimes volatile area of traffic law. With the recent changes to Wisconsin’s laws regarding operating while intoxicated, operating after revocation or while suspended, and municipal court procedures, and the creation of Wisconsin’s first mandatory motor vehicle insurance law, the timing couldn’t have been better for the release of PINNACLE Books’ fourth edition of Traffic Law.

    Traffic Law and Practice in Wisconsin takes a practical approach to the technical aspects of traffic law. This guide emphasizes solutions for resolving traffic cases and provides lawyers with the tools necessary to assist clients and protect their interests, including Department of Transportation charts and forms, contacts for traffic safety school, and detailed information on blood and breath alcohol testing. Lawyers of all experience levels will benefit from the practice tips contained in this book, designed to help attorneys provide efficient, high-value representation.

    Initiated in 1984 by Professor Thomas J. Hammer, Traffic Law and Practice in Wisconsin is the combined effort of many experienced judges, defense attorneys, and Department of Transportation officials, who over the years have researched, written, and updated the invaluable information in this book. This two-volume set covers the following topics:

    • Wisconsin’s Driver Licensing System

    • Traffic Offenses Involving the Driving Privilege

    • Commercial Driver Licensing

    • Common Moving Traffic Violations

    • Statutory Procedures for Traffic Violations

    • Wisconsin’s Impaired Driving Offenses

    • Implied Consent and Chemical Tests for Intoxication

    • Defense of Alcohol-related Driving Offenses

    The authors of the fourth edition are original contributor and circuit court commissioner Todd E. Meurer, Department of Transportation assistant general counsel John J. Sobotik, and defense attorneys Andrew I. Martinez, Dennis M. Melowski, and Cole D. Ruby.

    Traffic Law and Practice in Wisconsin is available to members for $175. Purchasers who subscribe to the State Bar of Wisconsin’s auto-supplementation service will receive future updates for 10 percent off the regular price. This title is also available to members in electronic format for $129 as part of the State Bar’s new online library, Books UnBoundTM.
