WAJ President Danielle Schroder of MacGillis Law Group, LLC Personal Injury Law along with Past-President Ann Jacobs of Jacobs Injury Law, SC and Treasurer Brad Yanke of Anderson O'Brien, LLP spoke before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 4 regarding the creation of a special committee to evaluate and propose updated rules for judicial recusal in Wisconsin.
