The fourteenth Thomas E. Fairchild Lecture will be held Friday, April 19, 2002 at 4 p.m. in Godfrey & Kahn Hall ( Room 2260). This year's topic is "Revitalization of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in the Mid-20th Century." Presenters are Governor Patrick Lucey and Mrs. Ellen Proxmire, with academic commentary by Alexander Shashko and concluding remarks by the Hon. Thomas E. Fairchild. The lecture will be followed by a reception in the Wisconsin Law Alumni Association Student Atrium. The Fairchild Lectureship was established at the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1988, as a tribute to Judge Fairchild, a 1937 UW Law School graduate, former Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, later Chief Judge and now Senior Circuit Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Initiated by Judge Fairchild's clerks, the lectureship brings a distinguished member of the legal profession -- from the bench, bar or academia -- to speak on a topic of importance to the profession. To attend, please respond by April 5, either by calling (608) 262-3833 or by sending an e-mail to Lynn Thompson, LFThomp1@facstaff.wisc.edu .
