Aug. 14, 2009 – Join a network of attorneys who share their knowledge in particular areas of law with other lawyers through free, brief telephone consultations. This 700-plus attorney network helps increase competence within the profession, reduce malpractice, and provide better delivery of legal services to the public.
The Lawyer-to-Lawyer Directory, which is revised every two years and published in the annual Wisconsin Lawyer Directory and is available through WisBar, allows lawyers to readily identify other lawyers who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise in specific areas of law. It includes an alphabetical listing, and a topical listing that is broken into 49 topics – from administrative/government law to worker’s compensation. The easy-to-use Out-of-State Listing facilitates finding State Bar of Wisconsin lawyers who practice in other states.
- Who can be listed? To be listed in this free directory, you must be an active member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, have experience in a particular field of law, and be willing to conduct brief telephone consultation, free of charge, with other attorneys having less experience.
- What if I am listed in the current edition? Participants listed in the 2009 directory received a renewal form in early August. Please verify or update the information, and return the signed form to the State Bar by Sept. 30.
To join this group of attorneys, you can download a fillable PDF registration form that can be completed electronically or a print-only version of the form. Both forms must be printed and mailed via U.S. mail to the State Bar by Sept. 30 to be listed in the January 2010 edition.
