On January 21, 2014, Attorney April M. Southwick filed a rule petition on behalf of the Wisconsin Judicial Council asking the court to create Wis. Stat. § (Rule) 809.86. The proposed rule is intended to address victim privacy concerns that result from public access to searchable documents posted on the supreme court and court of appeals website. It requires the use of initials or other appropriate pseudonyms to protect the identity of certain victims in appellate briefs and in appellate court decisions.
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 Monday, September 22, 2014, at 9:45 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 publication of a copy of this order and of the petition in the official state newspaper once each week for three consecutive weeks, 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 3rd day of July, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
Diane M. Fremgen
Clerk of Supreme Court
