    Never miss another deadline . . . meet them with help from CLE Books

    National studies have shown that a significant percentage of legal malpractice claims arises from missed deadlines and other calendaring errors. Knowing your deadlines and staying on top of them are two of the most important things that you, as a practitioner, can do to protect your clients and maintain a successful practice. The State Bar has a resource that will help you do just that.

    State Bar CLE Books has released the 2005 edition of the popular book A Guide to Wisconsin Statutes of Limitation and Other Time Limits. The new edition reflects legislative updates through the 2003 - 04 Wisconsin Statutes.

    Since 1992, this biennial publication, cosponsored by Wisconsin Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company (WILMIC), has helped attorneys keep track of myriad time limits appearing in the Wisconsin Statutes. As a companion to the Wisconsin Statutes, the guide provides a painless way to understand the statutory requirements of a variety of time limits and makes finding the correct statutes a simple process. The heart of the guide is the time-limit compilation, which covers statutes of limitation, statutes that direct action by a party during the pendency of a lawsuit, and statutes that direct a person or entity to take a certain action within a specific time.

    The guide simplifies wordy and confusing time-limit statutes by listing them in a four-column table format covering (1) the statute number, (2) the action, event, or proceeding, (3) the time limit, and (4) the event from which the time limit is computed. This innovative format isolates all of the time limits from a particular chapter of the statutes, allowing the reader to see all limits that may apply to a particular case or proceeding. The useful subject index will point the way for readers seeking information when a statutory reference is unavailable.

    Finally, the guide's helpful introduction explains how to compute time under a statute of limitation or other time limit. Chapter 893 _ the general time limitations chapter of the statutes _ is reprinted in full.

    The 2005 Guide to Wisconsin Statutes of Limitation and Other Time Limits is available from the State Bar for $42, plus tax, shipping, and handling. Each WILMIC policyholder was sent a complimentary copy from WILMIC. Those on the Bar's automatic supplementation service for the book were sent the 2005 edition at 10 percent off.
