Maria de Arteaga, a clinical instructor with the Wisconsin Innocence Project, has been named to Wisconsin Law Journal's Up and Coming Lawyers list for 2018.

According to Wisconsin Law Journal, "The award recognizes attorneys who — right out of the starting gate — have shown themselves to be rising stars. With eight years or less of experience, honorees have handled challenging legal issues, taken steps to improve the justice system and given of themselves to their communities."
