Long time readers of this blog might remember that I have been following the many lawsuits filed around the country alleging that mandatory membership to state bar associations is unconstitutional. See here and here for example. My most recent post on this was on the case from Wisconsin in which two Wisconsin attorneys argued that a requirement to be members of the bar association and pay dues violated their First Amendment rights. See here.
Last Monday, the US Supreme Court on Monday denied a request to hear that Wisconsin case. Justices Thomas and Gorsuch dissented.
For more on the story go to the SCOTUS blog, here, and to Courthouse News Services, here. Jurist has a short report here.
