We're Back Defending Your Rights

NEW | Statement on Redistricting Ruling

WILL released a statement condemning the recent ruling from the Supreme Court of Wisconsin in favor of a lawsuit seeking to change Wisconsin's Legislative Districts.

We see this lawsuit as an attempt to relitigate issues resolved just a year and a half ago.  

🗯 Rick Esenberg, WILL President and General Counsel, stated, "Petitioners used a trojan horse – municipal islands that have existed for decades, affect very few voters and could not be the cause of any alleged partisan bias, to upend maps that the Court approved in 2022. We now face a truncated process in which the parties must submit new maps and comment on those submitted by others and address an undefined standard called 'partisan fairness.' This is an unusual episode but WILL will strive to ensure that whatever emerges from the process will both comport with the law and Wisconsin’s political geography, as the Constitution requires, rather than a gerrymander for a partisan outcome.”

NEW | WILL Files Lawsuit Against Discriminatory “DEI” State Bar Practices

WILL filed a lawsuit against the State Bar of Wisconsin for promoting discriminatory DEI practices including its “Diversity Clerkship Program,” which offers premier internship opportunities based primarily on race. 

WILL’s client must pay mandatory and annual State Bar dues, which not only fund this internship program, but also other programs and communications that discriminate against him and thousands of other Wisconsin attorneys. 

🗯 WILL Associate Counsel, Skylar Croy, stated, “When the government discriminates based on race, it sows more division in our country and violates the Constitution in the process. WILL is standing up against discrimination and holding the State Bar accountable to the rights of its due-paying members.”

🗯 WILL Client, Daniel Suhr, also said, “Internships are competitive—as they should be. But when one group is given preferential treatment over the other to apply for these programs, the programs lose competitiveness and hurt all Americans. This also goes against my beliefs entirely. The State Bar should do better and expand these opportunities to all Wisconsin law students.”

MEDIA MENTION | Our Defense of School Choice in the WSJ

Our work and efforts for education reform are highlighted in this latest opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.

📰 Here's an excerpt: "The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty’s brief against the lawsuit represented 22 clients, including parents and private-school leaders. Parents and students spoke out. 'The new Supreme Court case will be devastating to all families... because it would take away opportunities from children who can’t support their education through a public school system,'”

MYTH BUSTED | Understanding WI's Unfair Sales Act

Many claim that the Unfair Sales Act prevents unfair business practices and protect consumers. However—in an FAQ by WILL Policy Associate, Miranda Spindt—we uncover the truth.

⚠️ This outdated law has proven to have no impact on the success of small businesses, but actually hurts consumers by artificially increasing prices and decreasing competition.
