WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Daniel R. Hausserman v. Board of Bar Examiners

Case No.: 2018 WI 115

Focus: Bar Admission – Character & Fitness

This is a review, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 40.08(7), of the final decision of the Board of Bar Examiners (Board) declining to certify that the petitioner, Daniel R. Hausserman, satisfied the character and fitness requirements for admission to the Wisconsin bar set forth in SCR 40.06(1). The Board’s decision was based primarily on Mr. Hausserman’s conduct in 2015, and his failure to disclose certain matters on his bar application.

After careful review, we agree that the record before us is insufficient to persuade us that Mr. Hausserman should be admitted to the practice of law at this time. Accordingly, we affirm.
