Judicial Evaluation

The power of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to impact individuals and businesses can equal or exceed that of the legislature or the governor. Virtually every business, insurer, and medical provider is affected by some of the court’s decisions. Yet, few people understand who the justices are and how their decisions shape our lives and economy.

The WCJC board of directors is proud to present its fifth Guide to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Judicial Evaluation. The purpose of this publication is to educate WCJC members, partners, and the public about the role of the courts in the state’s business climate and to identify trends in how individual justices voted.
