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.
