The Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers sponsors a popular CLE seminar each year. While some of the proceeds arising from the seminar are used to sponsor chapter events during the year, a large portion of the revenue received from the seminar and membership dues to contribute to organizations which assist the less fortunate who have to deal with family law issues.

Any applications for contributions for 2008 should be made to one of the committee members.
