Michelle Behnke, a solo practitioner hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, has been chosen by the American Bar Association’s Nominating Committee as their appointee for the Association’s presidential role during the 2025-2026 term. This decision was finalized during the Committee’s deliberations on Monday.
Behnke’s hope, as evidenced by her public statements and her professional history, is to guide the association towards becoming a more prominent leader in the drive for diversity within the legal profession. More details on her proposed policies and intended initiatives will be forthcoming as her term grows nearer.
