Publications and Legal Education Activities
The attorneys at Henak Law Office, S.C. actively work to improve the criminal justice system by training other lawyers and speaking out on important issues.
Attorney Robert R. Henak spoke on New Federalism and Constitutional analysis at the Marquette University Las School conference on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in December, 2010, and spoke on Recusal for Judicial Bias in Wisconsin at the same conference in October 2009. He previously spoke on Supervisory Writs in State Criminal Cases at the Milwaukee Bar Association's 2008 program, Appeals from Start to Finish. He previously spoke on the Duty of Competency for Appellate Lawyers at the 2004 Wisconsin State Bar Convention, and Remedies after Direct Appeal at the Wisconsin State Public Defender Conference.
Attorney Henak spoke out when the Seventh Circuit published a decision affecting thousands of prisoners without appointing counsel or even granting briefing on the issue. His Letter to the Editor of the Wisconsin Law Journal brought much needed attention to the issue. Similarly, Attorney Henak wrote a letter to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals Publication Committee urging it not to publish a decision affecting the requirements for Knight petitions. Attorney Henak also has objected to the Court of Appeals' practice of issuing published decisions in criminal cases where the defendant is not represented by counsel.
While a member of Henak Law Office, S.C., Attorney Amelia L. Bizzaro spoke on the topic of Petitions for Writ of Certiorari and Habeas Corpus at the 2007 State Public Defender Conference, encouraging attorneys to challenge revocation hearing decisions in light of Truth in Sentencing. She also authored the article Taking Reconfinement Hearings Seriously, which appeared in the April 2007 edition of Wisconsin Lawyer magazine, and most recently spoke about how to dissect a guilty plea hearing on appeal.
