Your Guide to Madison and Beyond Photo Credit: Focal Flame Photography Madison Dining Guide Notes on COVID-19 This guide is meant to serve as a planning reference, but please double- check hours, menus, and services for restaurants and activities as many may be subject to restrictions and reductions in service. Though Dane County allows reduced capacity indoor dining, many restaurants have chosen to offer takeout and delivery only at this time. We have tried to remove restaurants that have been closed permanently and mark those that have closed temporarily, but this is not an exhaustive list and some venues listed here as temporarily closed may either fully re- open or permanently close by the time of the meeting. We will make an updated version of this document in June. Madison Dining Guide Your fellow commissioners may have similar ideas for dinner and the summer is a busy time for tourism in Madison. Please remember to make reservations well in advance, particularly for larger groups such as delegation dinners. We’ve indicated general price ranges for each restaurant listing. Please see the guide below (the prices listed are for an average entree). These are estimates. If you are concerned, please consult the restaurant website for current pricing. $ - Inexpensive/Casual (up to $15) $$ - Moderately Priced ($15-$25) $$$ - Expensive ($25-35) $$$$ - Very Expensive/Fine Dining ($35+) Nearby Restaurants in Downtown Madison Each of these restaurants is an approximate ten-minute walk or less from the Monona Terrace Convention Center and Hilton 1.

    May 2014 Confirmed! by Jeffrey A

    Rule 1 " . just, speedy, and expeditious . " Western District Of Wisconsin Bar Association Volume 23, Number 2 May 2014 Confirmed! By Jeffrey A. Simmons, President A collective sigh of relief was heard across the Western District of Wisconsin this week. After more than five years, our district court’s judicial vacancy was filled when the U.S. Senate approved President Obama’s appointment of James Peterson to be a district court judge. I think we’ll find it was worth the wait. Judge Peterson is the immediate past president of the WDBA. It is fair to say that everyone on the WDBA board thinks the world of him. He will be missed. Although as a direct result of his good fortune, I am now stuck writing this column. I have had the privilege of knowing Judge Peterson since we were both first-year law stu- dents at the UW-Madison Law School in 1995. Like most people in our class, I first knew him as “that annoying guy in the front row who is always asking questions.” Over time, I came to appreciate that Judge Peterson can’t help himself, he is a person with a genuine and intense intellectual curiosity about the law. Judge James Peterson After law school we found ourselves at different law firms and on opposite sides of copyright and patent infringement cases. He was a zealous adversary, but always a model of civility. And when the case was over, I could count on him to continue debating the interesting legal issues in the case and laugh about the humorous events that inevitably cropped up during the proceedings.
