On May 5, the Wisconsin Civil Justice Council partnered with Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. to host a virtual panel discussion on Wisconsin’s rules of civil procedure. A recording of the webinar is available here.

Panelists discussed recent changes to the rules that are relevant for many attorneys, including new discovery limits and mandates, rules regarding e-discovery, changes to statutes of limitation, incorporation of federal class action rules, and modifications to the timely claim payment statute.

The state’s rules of civil procedure were substantially updated and modernized in 2018 when former Governor Scott Walker signed 2017 Wisconsin Act 235 into law. WCJC provided input on and ultimately supported those reforms.
