Paralegal Licensure Petition
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will address the licensure petition in open administrative conference on April 7, 2008 at 9:45 a.m. There will be no further testimony allowed, however additional written submissions may be sent by March 7, 2008. The Court may request comments from those in attendance at the hearing, for the Court's aid.
UPDATE: On April 7, 2008 the Wisconsin Supreme Court denied the petition on a unanimous voice vote, following their administrative conference on petition 04-03, the petition to regulate and license paralegals in Wisconsin. The Court has indicated that they will be sending a memorandum to the Wisconsin State Bar with their decision and alternative opinions. The Court felt that they lacked jurisdiction to enforce a mandatory regulation policy and in addition lacked the financial resources to fund an oversight council. Members of the PAW, the Board of Directors and our contacts with the legislature and State Bar will further review the Court's decision upon receipt of their memorandum.
