Bar Association (United States)

Unlike some mandatory state bar associations, the SBW is not a part of the Wisconsin state government. This means that the State Bar of Wisconsin does not play a role in regulating the practice of law in Wisconsin. Instead, the only major focuses of the SBW are to further the administration of justice in the state, promote the continual improvement of Wisconsin’s legal community, and provide aid to Wisconsin residents.
