Public Members on Professional Regulatory Boards

The Case of Lawyers in Wisconsin

University of Wsconsin-Stevens Point

Members of occupational licensing boards historically were chosen exclusively from the professions being regulated. Claims that these boards were protecting professionals rather than regulating them in the public interest led to the addition of public (lay) members. This study investigates the role and impact of public members for attorney Committees on Professional Responsibility in Wisconsin. The conclusions are that public members tend to come from financial fields, are less active than professionals in their committee service, and are not more severe than other members in recommending disciplinary action.
