WDBA 2024 Annual Meeting

This year’s Annual Meeting for the Western District of Wisconsin Bar Association will take place on June 6, 2024.

We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker, Jack Beermann, who will present on the administrative state under the Roberts Court. Professor Beermann, a noted scholar in the area of administrative law, is the Philip S. Beck Professor of Law at the Boston University School of Law. He received his J.D. from the University of Chicago and his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin.

The Annual Meeting will begin with the WDBA board’s annual meeting, at The Madison Club, before lunch. After lunch, the WDBA will move to the Western District’s courthouse for the rest of the meeting. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in person and encourage all members to do what they can to ensure the safety of themselves and everyone else while attending this event.
