BLAWG LOG: Papke on merit scholarships; Cicchini on sexual assault cases
When the Critical Legal Studies movement was still vibrant during the 1980s, Harvard Law Professor Duncan Kennedy frequently argued that, beyond exploring the cases and rules, legal education offered training in hierarchy.
BLAWG LOG: Pettit on security deposits; Federal Evidence Review on judicial independence
This issue keeps raising its head over and over and over ... so I feel compelled to address it. The question: Must a landlord have completed the repair of tenant-caused damages to a rental unit before being legally able to deduct the repair costs from the tenant’s security deposit?
BLAWG LOG: Cicchini on ‘safe havens’; DiMotto on ICWA
KenoWi.com recently reported that Kenosha County has created a new victim-witness room in the courthouse.
BLAWG LOG: Pettit on code violations; Bauer on jury instructions
The Residential Landlord Tenant relationship is controlled by two main areas of law: (1) Chapter 704 of the Wisconsin Statutes, and (2) the Wisconsin Administrative Code, Chapter ATCP 134 entitled “Residential Rental Practices.”
BLAWG LOG: Esenberg on King & Spaulding; Federal Evidence Review on new rules
I thought, for a while, about whether the title of this post was a bit too extreme. My subject is the pressure placed on King & Spalding to drop its representation of the House of Representatives with respect of the Defense of Marriage Act.
BLAWG LOG: Pettit on representing LLCs; Bauer on other acts
In the last few months I have been asked by many landlords why Milwaukee County will not allow members of an LLC to represent the LLC in eviction court.

It was my great pleasure to attend the investiture of Jim Wynn, L’79, as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
BLAWG LOG: Pettit on collecting money judgments; DiMotto on John Doe proceedings
Once you have evicted a tenant and have your property returned to you, you are confronted with the decision of whether to invest the time and money to pursue the ex-tenant for money damages or not.
BLAWG LOG: Shucha on unusual case names; Suhr on the ministerial exception
When the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided Coulee Catholic Schools v. LIRC, 2009 WI 88, Professor Esenberg and I both took to this blog to praise Justice Gableman’s majority decision.
BLAWG LOG: McMullen on maintenance; Kearney on the Fishbach fund
The current Wisconsin statute governing spousal maintenance is an undoubtedly well-meaning legislative attempt to give broad discretion to judges who must make difficult decisions about the division of financial assets at the time of a divorce. I believe, however, that the breathtakingly broad discretion granted under the statute is a mistake.
