<p>As 2017 comes to a close, many of us take a moment to remember the lessons we’ve learned and the experience we’ve gained in the hopes of putting them to good use in the upcoming year.</p>
<p>Wisconsin lawyers can be proud of the top-notch work they do every day to ensure the future of a dignified legal profession and a strong justice system.</p>
<p>All of us at the State Bar wish you a safe, successful, and satisfying year ahead. We hope your 2018 is filled with new opportunities and exciting possibilities.</p>
<p><em>Bar Briefs</em> will return in its usual format next week, Thursday, January 4. Enjoy the last few days of 2017!</p>
