Attorney
Misconduct Referees Wanted!
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is requesting applications from
lawyers and reserve judges who are interested in serving as
referees in cases regarding allegations of lawyer misconduct
or medical incapacity, and on petitions for license reinstatement.
The supreme court appoints referees to conduct hearings and
make findings, conclusions, and recommendations for the court's
review. The referees also review agreements between lawyers
and the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) for consensual discipline,
and review determinations of the preliminary review panels when
the panels decide that a case should not be pursued.
Referees must be licensed to practice law in Wisconsin and
have 10 years of legal experience as well as experience in hearings
conducted under the rules of civil procedure and the rules of
evidence. Prior or pending professional discipline will eliminate
candidates from consideration. Preferred candidates include:
litigation lawyers, reserve judges, administrative law judges,
hearing examiners, arbitrators, and mediators. Pay is comparable
to reserve judge pay, currently $35.50 per hour.
For further information on the lawyer regulation system and
the role of referees, see Supreme Court Rules Chapters 21 and
22 on the Office of Lawyer Regulation Web page at www.courts.state.wi.us/olr.
To apply, send a cover letter and resume to Cornelia Clark,
Clerk of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, P.O. Box 1688, Madison,
WI 53701-1688.

Department of Revenue moves to new location
The Department of Revenue recently moved more than 1,300 employees
from five Madison locations to one central building located at 2135

features a state-of-the-art taxpayer customer service center and lottery
player assistance area to better serve customers.

rooms are available for closed-door meetings. Personal computers also
are available to file taxes online. Revenue Department telephone numbers
and post office box addresses are unchanged. Only the Department of
Revenue's Madison district offices for the Bureaus of Equalization,
Manufacturing & Telco, Compliance, and Audit will remain at 5005 University
Ave.
