The judicial branch and its system of various courts may ap- pear very complex to the nonlawyer. It is well-known that the courts are required to try persons accused of violating criminal law and that conviction in the trial court may result in punishment by fine or imprisonment or both. The courts also decide civil matters between private citizens, ranging from landlord-tenant disputes to adjudication of corporate liability involving many mil- lions of dollars and months of costly litigation.

Marion County Election Board, 553 U.S. 181 (2008), the Court upheld Indiana’s voter photo ID law. Here, the Seventh Circuit held that Wisconsin’s voter photo ID law differs from Indiana’s, but not in ways that matter under the analysis in Crawford. The district court found that in Milwaukee County—a proxy for the state—97.6% of whites, 95.5% of blacks, and 94.1% of Latinos possess qualifying IDs or the documents that would permit Wisconsin to issue them. Months after the district court’s judgment, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin directed state officials to issue photo IDs without requiring applicants to present documents that must be paid for, and Wisconsin promulgated rules that assist ID applicants who experience hardship in obtaining supporting documents. These post-judgment developments in state law led the Seventh Circuit to conclude that today it is easier in Wisconsin than in Indiana to get the documents necessary to obtain a free photo ID card. The questions presented are: 1.

  • Monday Morning Review June 20, 2016 State Assembly Races
    Monday Morning Review June 20, 2016 State Assembly Races Coming Into Focus In Wisconsin, June 1st is the day that candidates running in the fall election are required to submit the required number of signatures from voters in their district so they can get on the ballot, first for the August Primary and then for the General Election on November 8, 2016. In Madison, all four campaign committees working to elect and reelect candidates host “meet the candidate” events and it is the most optimistic day of the year, with those in the majority arguing they are going to gain seats in November, and those in the minority touting the quality of their challenger candidates (predicting they will be measuring for curtains in their new and bigger offices on the morning of November 9 as they make plans to take back the majority in January 2017). In the state assembly, all 99 seats will be voted on in November. The GOP currently holds the majority in the lower house and will be defending 63 of the 99 seats this fall. One of the bigger surprises in the state assembly was that current State Representative Warren Petryk (R-Eleva) has no opponent in 2016, precisely because he is in a 50/50 district that always faces stiff competition. This is a big deal for the GOP because it is one less seat that they will have to keep an eye on. Why no opponent for Petryk? That is likely due to a combination of three things: 1) he had over $100,000 in the bank already to use for his reelection; 2) he works extremely hard during campaign time, and; 3) he is most likely one of the nicest people who currently serve in either house of the legislature.
