  A message from our President...

Welcome to the Legal Personnel of South Central Wisconsin’s website!  I’m glad you took time to visit us.  For a quick explanation of how we are structured, LPSCW is part of a tri-level association.  The other two components are the Wisconsin Association for Legal Professionals, and NALS, the national association. 

We believe that education is the most important part of our association, so each level offers speakers, publications, and online education.  We also believe another important asset is the network of other legal personnel, not only locally but also around the state and country.  These connections are invaluable not only to you but also to your firm, particularly when you are trying to locate a business in another area to assist you with a project, how a particular court likes documents completed, or to get a simple answer to a simple question.  You will also find that the people within your network will also become some of your closest friends through the years. 

I do hope that you will come for a visit and see what we have to offer and talk to our current members.  Also feel free to contact me anytime with a question or comment.  I look forward to seeing many of you in the upcoming year!

Karen R. Dempski, PLS
