Kelly Mould and Kate Trudell: Charles Dunn Wisconsin Lawyer Author Award

Presented by the State Bar Communications Committee, which serves as the editorial board for Wisconsin Lawyer magazine, the Hon. Charles Dunn Author Award recognizes writing excellence in the publication. The award was named in honor of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s first chief justice.

This year’s award recipients are Kelly Mould and Kate Trudell, for their article “#FreeBritney: When Protections Turn Toxic,” in the October 2021 issue of Wisconsin Lawyer.
