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. -

Town of Saratoga, 2018 WI 61, is the latest court decision in the dispute involving a proposed 6,388 acres dairy operation located primarily in the Town of Saratoga in Wood County. Golden Sands applied for a permit to build seven structures on 92 acres of its proposed 6388-acre operation. At the time of the application, the Town was under county zoning which zoned the land “unrestricted” meaning the land at issue could be used for any purpose. At the time of the application, the Town had completed its comprehensive plan and was in the process of adopting village powers so it could adopt its own zoning ordinance. Two days after Golden Sands applied for the building permit, the Town passed a moratorium on issuing building permits. The Town subsequently adopted a zoning ordinance that was then ratified by the Wood County Board. Under the Town’s zoning ordinance, only two percent of the Town (and none of Golden Sands’ land) was zoned for agricultural use. The Town refused to issue the building permit requested by Golden Sands. -

Telephone: (307) 733-7290 500 IDS Center 80 South Eighth Street Minneapolis, MN 55402 Telephone: 612-632-3000 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner i QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits a State from depriving any person of property without due process of law. For more than nine years, the Petitioner in this case, Debra K. Sands, litigated a claim for un- just enrichment against her fiancé, John R. Menard, Jr., reported to be the richest man in Wisconsin and a major contributor to organizations supporting the candidacy of multiple Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices. During those nine years, which never re- sulted in a trial, the sole issue contested by the parties was whether Sands’ claim was barred by a Wisconsin Supreme Court Rule of Professional Responsibility. On December 29, 2017, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, finding for Sands on the ethical issue, nevertheless ruled that Sands’ complaint failed to state a claim for unjust enrichment, an issue never raised, briefed, or previously argued. -

State of the Judiciary Address 2020
STATE OF THE JUDICIARY ADDRESS 2020 THE COURAGE OF WISCONSIN COURTS Chief Justice Patience Drake Roggensack Wisconsin Supreme Court P.O. Box 1688 Madison, WI 53701 (608) 266-1888 Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Judicial Conference November 5, 2020 ZOOM, Wisconsin The Courage of Wisconsin Courts 2020 Judicial Conference AMERICAN FLAG IN SUPREME COURT HEARING ROOM Pledge of Allegiance Marshal Tammy Johnson, Wisconsin Supreme Court Welcome to the 2020 Judicial Conference to you all. During this conference, we will have a conversation about the courage of Wisconsin courts — the judges who preside in them and their staffs. They have met and overcome the challenges presented by COVID-19, and have enabled Wisconsin courts to serve the people in spite of the pandemic. It has been said that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to be present and respond in spite of fear. My favorite definition of courage is simply, “grace under fire.” Our courts have shown courage, again and again, whatever definition you choose. We also will explore together core legal issues such as Fourth Amendment expectations and First Amendment challenges as well as technology's effects on Wisconsin courts. We will discuss issues relating to personal security of judges and court personnel. The world is changing rapidly, and that is reflected in the types of issues we meet in our courts. There are times when the problems generated through senseless violence and drug abuse cause us to be at a loss to understand how best to respond to those problems in a legally and socially sufficient way.
