A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit challenging the mandatory membership in the Wisconsin State Bar can proceed. The lawsuit, brought by an attorney, argues that the requirement infringes on the free speech rights of members who object to certain initiatives, including diversity programs. US Magistrate Stephen Dries denied the Wisconsin State Bar's motion to dismiss the case, allowing the legal challenge to advance. Additionally, three of the seven individual defendants named in the suit have been removed after arguing they were not personally responsible for the actions alleged.
