Nov. 26, 2025 – We have reached the time of year when we prepare to welcome in the season of gratitude and reflection. As we each pause to remind ourselves of what’s important, let us take the opportunity to be grateful for our common value of upholding justice.

We extend our deepest thanks to each of you for your dedication, integrity, and service. Together, you all continue to advance the practice of law, foster civility, and encourage understanding across Wisconsin and our nation. Wishing you and your families a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Dan D. Gartzke, U.W. 1986, is president of the State Bar of Wisconsin.​
