On June 29, 2010, the State Bar of Wisconsin, by its then-president, Douglas W. Kammer, filed a petition with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  The petition requests the court amend Supreme Court Rules (SCRs) 12.02(6) and 12.03(7) concerning the Lawyers Assistance Corporation.  The petitioners propose that the Lawyers Assistance Corporation be removed from the Rules and that the State Bar of Wisconsin, the corporation's sole member, be authorized to dissolve the corporation.

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, October 4, 2010, 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 the petition and memorandum in support of the petition shall be made available on the Website of the Wisconsin Supreme Court under Rules.

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.[1]

Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 3rd day of August, 2010. 

 

BY THE COURT:

Acting Clerk of Supreme Court

 

 


[1] Notice of the hearing will appear in the September 2010 Wisconsin Lawyer, the official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin, approximately 19 days prior to the hearing rather than the required minimum of 30 days.  Pursuant to its rule-making authority under Wis. Stat. § 751.12 and its Internal Operating Procedures, the court exercises its discretion to allow this unavoidable deviation from the requirements.
