ACS Milwaukee.png

As the campaign ads, flyers, debates, and rallies from the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race fade away, all eyes now turn to how the soon-to-be newly constituted Wisconsin Supreme Court will govern.

Please join the ACS Milwaukee Lawyer Chapter, the Milwaukee Bar Association, and the Federalist Society Milwaukee Lawyer Chapter for a panel discussion that will begin with an administrative overview (How many cases a year will our Supreme Court take?) and will explore how the new court may address issues likely to arise in the coming years, including interpretive methodology and equal protection under the Wisconsin Constitution, separation of powers, and stare decisis, dicta, and Cook v. Cook. The panel features state supreme court advocates who have represented clients with interests that span the ideological spectrum and is moderated by Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanrahan.

Featuring:

Erin Deeley, Partner at Stafford Rosenbaum LLP; Board Member, ACS Madison Lawyer Chapter

Matthew Fernholz, Partner at Cramer Multhauf LLP

Hannah Jurss, Assistant Attorney General for the Wisconsin Department of Justice

Ryan Walsh, Partner at Eimer Stahl LLP

Moderated by:

Hon. Michael Hanrahan, Judge, Milwaukee Circuit Court

ACS Bay Area: The Trump Administration's (Second) First 100 Days

President Trump has made rapid-fire changes to nearly every corner of the U.S. government. Policies, programs, and entire governmental departments have been dramatically overhauled, if not eliminated, and accepted norms and basic principles of the rule of law questioned, if not eviscerated. He also launched existential attacks on local governments, universities, law firms, and other institutions that depend on federal funding or access to the federal government. In short, it has been hard to keep up. Please join the ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter, ACS UC Law San Francisco, and Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP for a conversation, moderated by Ajay Krishnan, with David Chiu, Alexis Loeb, and Ismail Ramsey, to discuss and reflect on the Trump Administration's first 100 days in office. The program will focus not just on what has happened in the first 100 days but what all of us -- current and former federal employees, local and state governments, private law firms, non-profit organizations, and more -- can do going forward. 

Featuring:

David Chiu, City Attorney of San Francisco 

Alexis Loeb, Partner, Farella Braun + Martel LLP

Ismail Ramsey, Former United States Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice

Moderated by:

Ajay Krishnan, Partner, Keker, Van Nest & Peters; Board Member, ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter
