On February 5, 2007, the Board of Governors filed a petition proposing to amend SCR 10.05(1) to increase the number of State Bar governors selected by the Nonresident Lawyers Division. A public hearing was held on Monday, October 29, 2007. Thomas J. Basting, Sr., President of the State Bar of Wisconsin, presented the petition on behalf of the Board of Governors.
At the ensuing open administrative conference, the court voted unanimously to adopt the petition. Accordingly, effective the date of this order, SCR 10.05(1) is amended as follows:
SCR 10.05 Board of governors.
(1) Composition of board. The affairs of the association shall be
managed and directed by a board of governors consisting of the 6 officers of
the association, all of whom shall be ex officio members-at-large of the board,
not fewer than 34 members elected from the State Bar districts established
under sub. (2), one member selected by the young lawyers division pursuant to
its bylaws, one member selected by the government lawyers division pursuant to
its bylaws, three five governors selected by the nonresident
lawyers division pursuant to its bylaws, one governor selected by the senior
lawyers division pursuant to its bylaws, and three nonlawyers appointed by the
supreme court for staggered two-year terms. No person appointed by the supreme
court shall serve more than two consecutive full terms. The rights and powers
of the ex officio members of the board are the same as those of elected
members. All past-presidents of the Wisconsin bar association or of the state bar
of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin state delegate to the American Bar Association
house of delegates and the deans of the Marquette university and university of
Wisconsin law schools are entitled to floor privileges, but without voting
privileges.
IT IS ORDERED that notice of this amendment of SCR 10.05(1) be given by a single publication of a copy of this order in the official state newspaper and in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 14th day of November, 2007.
