The purpose of the Wellness Committee is to promote a culture within the Wisconsin Defense Council of physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being for our members by providing activities, information, and support that will result in healthier lifestyles. The legal field is wrought with sleepless nights, high stakes, stress, and burnout and can be a generally sedentary profession.

The Civil Jury Instructions Committee receives periodic updates from the Wisconsin Civil Jury Instructions Committee on potential amendments to existing jury instructions or the creation of new jury instructions. If there are specific case opinions, topics, or concerns the Wisconsin Defense Counsel wants the Wisconsin Civil Jury Instructions Committee to consider, we work with the Wisconsin Civil Jury Instructions Committee to review those matters.
