Wickham and Farr Law Firm Printed Cases and Briefs, 1888-1909

Scope and Content Note

The entire collection consists of 24 volumes of printed and bound Wisconsin Supreme Court cases and legal briefs prepared for those cases by Wickham and Farr, and by opposing attorneys. Wickham and Farr undertook general appeals cases from all of the counties surrounding Eau Claire. It appears that the volumes were maintained by Wickham, as his name and notes and citations are written on many of the individual briefs. The cases comprise appeals of all types to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with two to the U.S. Supreme Court, a few to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit, and one each to the Minnesota and Illinois Supreme Courts. Though the order is generally chronological, there are many exceptions.
