Attorneys Lydia Thompson and Emma Stippich Welcomed into James E. Doyle Inn of Courts

Murphy Desmond attorneys Lydia Thompson and Emma Stippich were welcomed as new members of the James E. Doyle American Inn of Court event on September 24, 2025. 

Inn of Court members, including attorneys Sarah DeKraay and Harvey Wendel (who serves as an officer), gathered at the Concourse Hotel in Madison for a meeting, dinner, and introductions of all new members.

The group meets regularly for the purposes of: advancing legal integrity and professionalism; strengthening relationships with peers; and bridging the gap between law school studies and the practice of law, especially for newer lawyers. Participants range from law students to state Supreme Court justices. American Inns of Court around the country exist to mentor young lawyers and foster excellence in the practice of law.

Congratulations to Lydia and Emma on their nominations to the James E. Doyle Inn of Court and new memberships.
