MembershipWDC is a statewide association of attorneys who practice primarily in the defense of civil litigation. WDC was formed in 1962 and has grown to over 375 attorneys. We offer a variety of activities and services for the defense attorney. WDC bylaws state that eligible WDC members are, "Any member of the State Bar of Wisconsin and who devotes a substantial portion of his or her professional time in the defense of civil litigation." EducationWDC holds three education programs during the year, all of which provide continuing legal education (CLE) credits. Strong, substantive programs present the latest developments in the field of civil litigation. These programs bring together insurance industry claims staff and defense attorneys to share common problems and concerns on an informal basis. A spring seminar is held in April or May at the American Club, Kohler, Wisconsin. A summer seminar is held in August. A winter seminar is held in December. For more on these activities, see the calendar of events. Other member benefits include:
