Join us in celebrating 22 new Wisconsin lawyers! Many passed the February 2025 bar exam, with some launching their legal careers and others embracing new paths here in Wisconsin. Congratulations!
To commemorate Law Day, Ryan Billings reflects on the genius of our careful separation of powers and critical checks and balances.
Stephen Sawyer is the next president-elect of the State Bar of Wisconsin. Here are the results for the State Bar officer and Board of Governors' elections for 2025-26.
The Board of Governors approved the fiscal year 2026 budget, agreed not to oppose a petition to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to eliminate the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) system’s district committees, and discussed reapportionment of State Bar districts, among other items.
The State Bar of Wisconsin's 53-member Board of Governors today selected Jill Creston Rothstein as the State Bar's next Executive Director. Rothstein, currently general counsel for the South Carolina Bar, will succeed Larry J. Martin, who is retiring Sept. 2, 2025.
The Board of Governors requested further study on the proposed pilot project, which would expand online attorney access to Wisconsin court documents. The Board also discussed a proposed budget for fiscal year 2026 and approved the Keller dues reductions amount.
