On May 8, 2007, the State Bar of Wisconsin petitioned the Court for a revision to Supreme Court Rule 13.015 and Supreme Court Rule 13.045 governing the assessment on attorneys for WisTAF.  The petition proposes allowing attorneys subject to the assessment the option of donating the $50 assessment to a specific law-related civil legal services entity other than WisTAF, and also proposes expanding the classes of members subject to this assessment to include judicial members.  Supreme Court Justices are already subject to the assessment.  SCR 13.045 (1).

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 November 7, 2007, 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 August, 2007. 

 

BY THE COURT:
