Defending Freedom in 2025!

Supreme Court hears oral arguments from WILL Attorney Lucas Vebber 

WILL attorney, Lucas Vebber, argued before the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a major administrative agency authority case involving the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The case, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, Inc. v. DNR, challenges when administrative agencies like DNR are required to promulgate rules prior to requiring Wisconsinites to act. The outcome of this case will have a significant impact on how administrative agencies in Wisconsin exercise their authority.

Don't Miss This! Education Survey of Wisconsin Parents Tells Interesting Story!

WILL published a new survey of Wisconsin parents in partnership with 50CAN, a national, nonpartisan education reform non-profit.

The report highlights the lack of information parents have about their school system, including the true costs per student the state spends. WILL and 50CAN propose new measures to boost transparency and accountability in education. 

WILL is also hosting a Webinar with 50CAN on January 15th at 12:00 p.m. CDT. This webinar will provide valuable insight to those who care about the future of education in Wisconsin.

WSJ Highlights WILL's Work Again

A new year, a new administration, and because of WILL's hard work, DEI is in full retreat and national media outlets are taking notice.

As noted by the WSJ, "Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, which has sued companies over DEI policies, is pointing to 61 federal programs it considers ripe for litigation and elimination, including technical assistance for minority farmers and contracting preferences for minority-owned law firms helping to collect U.S. debts.

They also note, this year will be different for an obvious reason. "[WILL] will have an ally inside the White House: Trump adviser Stephen Miller, who ran a group that has also sued companies over DEI policies."

Wisconsin Right Now: WILL is a 2024 WINNER!

A well-read conservative publication declared WILL one of its  "Winners of 2024" saying, "It’s impossible to overstate the importance of these conservative legal eagles." 

They went on to say, "WILL fought against discriminatory practices in school districts, hospitals, and government; filed a legal motion to defend Act 10; submitted the fairest legislative maps; fought for religious freedom and choice schools; released comprehensive policy reports; fought to protect the rights of student-athletes, fought for taxpayers, and more."

WILL is seeking a Policy Intern to provide research and administrative support to the staff of WILL. This will be a 3-to-4-month position with the ability to extend based on performance. The ideal candidate would be a self-starter pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Communications/Journalism, or Statistics. This is a paid opportunity and requires a minimum 15-hour-per-week commitment, although greater availability would be ideal.
