    State Bar of Wisconsin - FY 02 Annual Report

    Looking Ahead

    Pat BallmanIncoming President Patricia Ballman has outlined three goals she is committed to working on during her term: spearheading an effort to educate the public about the value of the legal profession; continuing the fight for government funding of civil legal services for the indigent; and improving diversity within the legal profession.

    In addition, Ballman will work with the Legal History Committee to plan a momentous birthday party. In 2003 the State Bar will celebrate its 125th anniversary, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will celebrate its 150th, and the Court of Appeals will celebrate its 25th. In FY02 President Mowris and Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson appointed a committee to plan events and projects to celebrate the anniversaries.

    Beginning this fall, the Wisconsin Lawyer magazine will feature early supreme court justices who shaped our legal history. Other celebrations may include oral histories of past bar presidents and other influential members of Wisconsin's legal community, presentations for service organizations and professional groups statewide, a traveling exhibit that showcases famous supreme court cases, and a spotlight CLE program at the Annual Convention in May.
