Recent Articles from GREGG HERMAN

Commentary September 12, 2023

Not playing nice together

Can we be civil?

Commentary August 15, 2023

Defining Winning

What is the definition of winning?  “Win” has a clear meaning in sports, but what about in Law?

Commentary July 19, 2023

Are lawyers more ethical?

With the pandemic behind us, it seems like a good time to look at updated numbers. 

Commentary June 13, 2023

Age isn’t just a number when it comes to mandatory judicial retirement

The concept of serving beyond one’s “use by” date is not limited to judges. 

Commentary May 11, 2023

Meditating on mediation

The trial involved huge risks for both sides.

Commentary April 19, 2023

The good, bad, worse news to come from the Supreme Court election

Much as I like to vary topics in my monthly column, the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election presents too much fodder for comment and is too important to simply let it go. 

Commentary March 16, 2023

Courts (and the legal field in its entirety) should choose civility

There are frequent reminders for lawyers in Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs and articles on the importance of civility among adversaries. Civility, like all good lessons, should flow from the top down, as children learn from their parents. In law, that means civility starts with the judges and court commissioners.

Commentary February 19, 2023

The age of settlement: Peace rather than war

For a number of years, I’ve put together a family law cases update program for the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the State Bar Family Law Section and the state family court judges. 

Commentary February 2, 2023

Politics vs. real life. A living wage is a start

On Jan. 19, the Wisconsin Assembly gave a final approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that would, they claim, make it more difficult for violent criminals to get out of jail on bail. The proposal will go before voters where it will undoubtedly be ratified in the April 4 election.

Commentary January 12, 2023

Looking back: The best and worst of 2022

One of my favorite columns is to review family law cases and legislation from the prior year. It gives me yet another opportunity to express my thoughts on the good and the bad that occurred. Fortunately for me as a columnist, there was enough bad to make this column (hopefully) somewhat entertaining as “good” tends to be boring.

Commentary December 14, 2022

Wisconsin Supreme Court election gets off to ugly start

One of the ugly parts of our legal system is the politics of electing judges. With an election for a Supreme Court justice in 2023, the ugliness has gotten an early start.

Commentary November 30, 2022

Competing rights and interests

On Nov. 6, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Brackeen v. Haaland, a case which presented numerous constitutional and legislative issues regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act or ICWA.
