Dec. 20, 2023 – These are uncertain social and economic times. Civic understanding, the role of our courts, and the rule of law are in decline or threatened; leaders in the legal profession and in our communities are retiring; and residents in much of Wisconsin increasingly struggle to access justice.

The Wisconsin Law Foundation is responding.​

The Law Foundation is working to expand grants to new lawyers who choose to work with underserved populations, engaging high school students on the rule of law and civics through the mock trial program, and developing a new generation of lawyers’ leadership skills in service to both the profession and our communities, all while promoting innovative programs that strengthen the justice system.

These efforts are ambitious, and we cannot reach our goals without the support of every member of Wisconsin’s legal profession. Your support today is vital to the Law Foundation’s ability to address and expand its reach in support of worthy projects and programs in every part of the state.

This is why the Wisconsin Law Foundation launched the “Every Member, Every Year” campaign to support and expand its mission and work. We are asking every State Bar of Wisconsin member to give a donation of any amount to the Law Foundation at least once per year. We need your support now more than ever.

With the annual support of every member, the Law Foundation will be in a strong position to respond to the need to promote civic understanding, leadership development, access to justice, and programming that enhances diversity and inclusion within the profession.

Your support now will empower the Law Foundation to continue to support critically needed programs and services at a time when demand and need has never been higher.
