NEW | WILL Files Motion to Intervene on Behalf of WI Schools and Families to Protect Education Options for All

Today, WILL filed an amicus brief and a motion to intervene in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Wisconsin's widely popular and successful school choice program.

• WILL’s motion and amicus was filed on behalf of 22 clients—representing parents of students enrolled in choice and charter schools, schools across Wisconsin, and organizations that advocate for educational freedom.
• Over 85% of all choice-program students within the schools WILL is representing are non-white, based on state data. 
• Many of the students are from low- or middle-income families.

🗯 Rick Esenberg, WILL President and General Counsel, also said, “On behalf of our clients and about 65,000 students who benefit from Wisconsin’s choice programs, WILL stands ready to defend the rule of law and the educational freedoms afforded to students and families alike. Our arguments submitted to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin explain why it would be entirely inappropriate for the Court to agree to take this case.” 

🗯 Dr. Charles Moore, Executive Director of Impact Christian Schools (WILL Client) based in Dane County, stated, “Protecting choice in education is a big part of our life’s work because ultimately it means more kids can receive a quality education that sets them up for success. Impact Christian Schools is proud to join this coalition of choice schools and parents with kids at choice and charter schools who benefit from Wisconsin’s choice programs. Taken together this group is for one purpose and one goal: the absolute best education possible for Wisconsin students.”

WIN | WILL Secures Major 2nd Amendment Victory for Millions of Firearm Owners Nationwide 

WILL announced a significant legal victory in Britto v. ATF—a nationwide injunction protecting millions of firearm owners across America!

This victory follows several preliminary injunctions on the ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule, but this is the first injunction that applies to all Americans, not just the plaintiffs in pending cases. 

🗯 WILL Deputy Counsel, Dan Lennington stated, “This new federal ruling protects the 2nd Amendment Rights of millions of Americans. WILL is proud to work alongside our clients and blaze a trail against this unconstitutional federal action."

NEW | WILL Testified in Support of Parental Rights Legislation

WILL testified at an Assembly Committee on Family Law hearing in support of AB 510, otherwise known as the Parental Rights Bill. 

That testimony can be viewed here. WILL clients from our recently won parental rights case, Autumn and Tammy Fourtiner, were present and provided their testimony as well. 

🗯 WILL Deputy Counsel, Luke Berg, stated, “We should all be able to agree that parents, who know and love their children more than anyone, should be the ones to decide what is best for them. This bill simply cements that right. Schools should not be taking on the role of the parent.”

🗯 WILL Associate Counsel, Cory Brewer, stated, “Parents should be equal partners in the education of their children. This bill helps set the expectation that parents and families in the community should be and will be involved with the local public school district. We hope the legislature takes this opportunity to protect parental rights and to do what is best for children.”

UPDATE | Nashville Shooter Manifesto Leaked

WILL is back in federal court demanding that the FBI provide more information about the Nashville Shooter’s leaked manifesto. We are continuing to seek answers and hold the FBI accountable for its violations of the Freedom of Information Act.

WILL Deputy Counsel, Dan Lennington, talked about this important update on The Vicki McKenna Show.
