On June 13, 2007, the Wisconsin Association of Judicial Court Commissioners and the Wisconsin Family Court Commissioners Association filed a petition proposing to amend Supreme Court Rule 32.01 pertaining to the composition of the Judicial Education Committee.  A public hearing was held on November 27, 2007.  Family Court Commissioner Darcy McManus presented the petition on behalf of both the Wisconsin Association of Judicial Court Commissioners and the Wisconsin Family Court Commissioners Association.  In addition, the Director of State Courts submitted a memorandum on behalf of the Judicial Education Committee in support of the proposal, but with modifications.

At the ensuing open administrative conference, the court voted unanimously to adopt the petition, with modifications.  Accordingly, effective the date of this order, Supreme Court Rule 32.01 is amended as follows:

SCR 32.01 Judicial education committee.

A judicial education committee is created consisting of the chief justice of the supreme court or his or her designee, the chief judge of the court of appeals or his or her designee, the director of state courts, 2 circuit court commissioners appointed by the supreme court, 8 circuit court judges appointed by the supreme court, and the deans of the university of Wisconsin and Marquette law schools or their designees.  The circuit court judge and circuit court commissioner members shall serve staggered 2-year terms and may serve not more than two successive 2-year terms.  The dean of the Wisconsin Judicial College is a member ex officio of the committee and has voting privileges.

IT IS ORDERED that notice of this amendment of Supreme Court Rule 32.01 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 December, 2007.
