Archives: Wisconsin Supreme Court

On January 20, 2015, the Wisconsin Supreme Court released its decision in State v. Alger.

While I do not profess to be an expert on Wisconsin constitutional law, please explain to me how a domestic partnership law is not “similar” to a legal status for marriage?

Two more cases proving how pathetic our so-called disciplinary system operates in Wisconsin.

The issue of the legal system encouraging people to act without lawyers is baffling.

Our state’s tradition of wussy discipline continues…

The problem is that our disciplinary system is a joke. Yes, a review is needed. Please make it a serious one.

Our disciplinary system is severely flawed. It’s dismaying to see how little the SC seems to understand and appreciate its own role in it.

The petition is to provide the public with information when an attorney is being investigated – not formally accused or convicted, but merely investigated.

Why claim that we have a system of progressive discipline, when we don’t? And why even bother to have a disciplinary system which doesn’t even care about the future victims of lawyers like this?

The SC suspended – did not disbar, but suspended – a lawyer’s license of three years for committing an armed robbery. As a practicing lawyer, I am embarrassed.
