Welcome...

It's time once again for the State Bar elections, scheduled for April 2020, which will include as usual the selection of a State Bar representative on the Wisconsin Judicial Council. I am asking for your vote in April so that I can continue my service as the State Bar’s representative on this important public agency.  This is a very important role as the Council is charged with duties that affect the practice of every attorney in Wisconsin. My background has prepared me to serve on the Council. I have been a trial lawyer since 1974. I know why the Council is important to the administration of Justice in Wisconsin.  The Council’s work must address 21st Century issues. I was one of the principal drafters of Wisconsin’s new e-discovery rules. My background has equipped me to provide important guidance to the Council concerning the realities of the electronic practice of law, e-discovery and digital evidence. With Professor Jay Grenig of the Marquette Law School I have co-authored a 1400 page treatise entitled e-Discovery & Digital Evidence.

I respectfully ask that you vote to keep me on the Council as your representative this April. If you wish to reach me for any reason, you can contact me at wgleisner@sbcglobal.net.
