PAW MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL REMINDER:

PAW membership runs on a calendar-year basis. We kindly remind you to renew your membership for the upcoming year, if you have not already done so.

We also recognize that the holiday season can be a challenging time for some. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, please know you’re not alone and that support is available. The Wisconsin State Bar offers assistance through WisLAP (wisbar.org/WisLAP) and the Wisconsin Dept of Health Services provides additional mental health resources and support.

We wish you and your loved ones peace, good health, and all the best in the coming year.
