On July 3, 2013, the State Bar of Wisconsin, by its then-president, Kevin Klein, filed this rule petition asking the court to amend Supreme Court Rules (SCRs) 10.03(3) and (5) relating to classes of membership and membership dues and reduction of dues. The petition seeks to modify membership status of State Bar members to include a senior emeritus membership and active emeritus membership and raise the age for emeritus membership to 75. In addition, the proposed amendments grant a waiver of one-half dues to those members admitted to practice five or fewer years, rather than three or fewer years.
IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing on the petition shall be held in the Supreme Court Room in the State Capitol, Madison, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, January 21, 2014, at 9:30 a.m.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court's conference in the matter shall be held promptly following the public hearing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notice of the hearing be given by a single publication of a copy of this order and of the petition in the official state newspaper and in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days before the date of the hearing.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 1st day of November, 2013.
BY THE COURT:
Diane M. Fremgen
Clerk of Supreme Court
