I now have a thorough understanding of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and I will definitely place more emphasis on it." Nathan Vance - Oak Creek High School "This institute was the most useful staff development program I have ever participated in - great resource people. Keep up the good work!" Lea Hansen-George - Viroqua High School "The greatest part of the institute was learning more about the municipal courts. This is the most used court by citizens but the court that the least is known about. Thank you for the resources I can use in my classroom!" Tom Noonan - Marquette University High School |
