Baird supports the best for current, future generations
The 1960s, sixth-grade version of Kathleen M. Baird wrote an essay about how women can do anything they set out to achieve and nothing was going to stop her in pursuing her goals. Today’s 60-year-old version, now an attorney/mediator, is equally optimistic about what the future holds, both for herself and other women in the […]
Publisher’s Note
For our second Women in the Law event, I knew we would hear stories about Wisconsin’s female practitioners’ hard work, dedication, leading by example and ability to overcome obstacles. But I am pleased to say I was surprised at how many nominations we received. It turns out that no matter how quietly these women do […]
Prosecuting sensitive crimes presents unique challenges
It is axiomatic that not every lawyer is qualified to try a criminal case. Less understood is that not every criminal lawyer is qualified to try a sexual assault case. Whether prosecuting or defending, such cases pose challenges that are unique in criminal law. And few are as expert in trying them as Assistant Milwaukee […]
Balancing act not easy, but rewards outweigh costs
It wasn’t easy, but Ann M. Maher found a way to make it all work. She did it because she loves litigation and by seeking out an extensive support network — but not in the manner she suggested to a senior partner at the law firm where she clerked as a student. It was 1986, […]
Tough domestic violence cases Olsen’s main focus
Attorney Christine R. H. Olsen has an eclectic practice. The Wausau solo practitioner does some plaintiff’s employment discrimination, family law and even a little transportation law, which involves things like cargo claim issues with trucks. “My husband and I own a trucking company and I do a lot of legal work for them,” said the […]
Law professor supports inmates' return to society
Attorney Judith E. Olingy is no stranger to prison. The clinical professor at the University of Wisconsin started the first re-entry program designed to help offenders transition back into society. Known as the Community Supervision Legal Assistance Program (CSLAP), the initiative connects law students with people on probation or parole to provide legal guidance on […]
Packard keeps up the fight for employee rights
On a sunny March weekend earlier this year, Tamara B. Packard went kayaking between the “icebergs” of Lake Monona. That’s just one recent indication of her strong will and fearlessness. Another was her willingness to relocate to Madison without a job in the mid-90s after a few years in legal practice. In time, Packard landed […]
Complex litigation highlights Lovern’s work at von Briesen
When Susan E. Lovern thinks of 2009, she thinks of trains, planes and automobiles. It was a hectic year for Lovern, but also an extremely satisfying year for her commercial litigation practice with von Briesen & Roper SC in Milwaukee. Lovern led the litigation team representing CBC Coating Inc., one of some 20 defendants from […]
Committee work keeps business attorney busy
Anyone who visits the Dane County Courthouse will certainly notice splashes of color throughout the building and paintings adorning some walls. While the structure won’t be mistaken for an art museum, attorney Teresa K. Kobelt helped make the building more visually appealing inside. As a dedicated member of the Dane County Bar Association, she organized […]
