WILL filed a new lawsuit challenging at least 20 UW-Madison scholarships and grants that contain race-based criteria and are administered with support from taxpayer funds. WILL represents Young America’s Foundation and Citizens Defending Liberty in our second lawsuit challenging race-based state programs since winning a major case at the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this year, in which a unanimous Court struck down a racially discriminatory scholarship program.

WILL, in partnership with Heart+Mind Strategies, released “Bridging the Gap,” new public opinion research exploring how populist-leaning conservative voters in Wisconsin view government institutions, as well as ways to reconnect classical conservative principles like federalism, free markets, and trust institutions with values this key audience already holds.

WILL secured a major legal victory for property owners in Sister Bay after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled that the Village’s four-bedroom cap for vacation rentals operates as an illegal “back-door prohibition on renting.”

A Wisconsin-based taxpayer association, represented by WILL, filed a new lawsuit challenging the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program, a procurement program that spends over $250 million each year purchasing supplies and services based on race. 

A new report by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) and the MacIver Institute finds that a longstanding Wisconsin statute conflicts with the Wisconsin Constitution’s “secret ballot” guarantee. As a result, WILL and MacIver are calling for the Wisconsin Legislature to amend the law.
