It is well-known that the courts are required to try persons accused of violating criminal law and that conviction in the trial court may result in punishment by fine or imprisonment or both. The courts also decide civil matters between private citizens, ranging from landlord-tenant disputes to adjudication of corporate liability involving many mil- lions of dollars and months of costly litigation.

  • The History of Wisconsin's Black Lawyers 2019
    The History of Wisconsin’s Black Lawyers 2019 History of Wisconsin’s Black Lawyers The history of Black lawyers in Wisconsin is a rich one. There are many untold stories of attorneys who fought for civil rights and the dignity of Black people during a tumultuous time when there were very few Black lawyers. Over the past year, a small group of attorneys met to discuss and gather information on Black attorneys who worked in Wisconsin over the last century, highlighting some of their challenges and triumphs. This booklet contains biographies of a selected few dating back to the late nineteenth century through the 1960s. It also includes the names of Black attorneys that have graduated and have been admitted to the Wisconsin State Bar. We found hundreds of names covering a span of over 100 years. While that is a very small number compared to the thousands of Wisconsin attorneys during a comparable time, the con- tributions are most noteworthy. Early organizing of Black attorneys in Wisconsin began in 1958 with Theodore “Ted” Coggs. He convened a small group in his home to begin addressing particular concerns and challenges facing Black attor- neys in Milwaukee. In 1973, Attorney Lloyd Barbee filed articles of incorporation estab- lishing the Wisconsin Black Lawyers Association (WBLA). The group started brief banks, collaborated with Black law students and were ac- tively engaged in the community. The WBLA changed its name in 1988 to the Wisconsin Association of Minority Attorneys (WAMA). Attorney Larry Farris was the first pres- ident under the new name. This group inaugurated an annual dinner in honor of W.

Koschnick Chief Justice Telephone 608-266-6828 Director of State Courts Fax 608-267-0980 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dean Stensberg (608) 266-6828 Supreme Court Appoints Triggiano Chief Judge in Milwaukee Madison, Wis. (Feb. 12) -- The Wisconsin Supreme Court appointed Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Mary E. Triggiano to be the Chief Judge of the First Judicial Administrative District in Milwaukee County. When Chief Judge Maxine Aldridge White was appointed to serve on to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals earlier this month, the Court selected a successor Chief Judge of the First Judicial Administrative District. “I am pleased that a judge with Judge Triggiano’s experience, leadership and dedication to the law agreed to serve in this important role," said Chief Justice Patience D. Roggensack. “Chief Judge Triggiano has strong support from her colleagues on the Milwaukee bench,” she continued. Chief Judge Triggiano was first appointed to the court in 2004 and was recently re-elected without opposition in 2017. Chief Judge Triggiano served as a Deputy Chief Judge to Judge White and served as the Presiding Judge of Milwaukee County’s Children’s Court and its Domestic Violence Court. “I am grateful to the Supreme Court for their confidence in me, and to my colleagues for their support and encouragement in this endeavor. I am proud to serve as a judge in Milwaukee County and look forward to my new role,” Chief Judge Triggiano said. Chief Judge Triggiano currently serves on the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s Judicial Education Committee and the Committee on Child Welfare.
