Overview

Mission & Philosophy

The Western District of Wisconsin Bar Association’s mission is to promote the just, speedy, respectful, and efficient disposition of every action filed in the Western District.

To this end, the WDBA serves as a liaison among the Court, federal practitioners, litigants, and the public. We mentor new practitioners and sponsor continuing legal education on subjects that matter to the Court and to the federal bar we serve — all aimed at maintaining and improving the quality practice of law in our district and to promoting justice.

Membership in the WDBA allows access to the WDBA’s resources and knowledge regarding the District Court, including insider perspectives into the Court’s practices, preferences, and procedures. To gain access to these perspectives, please join and view our member’s only page.
