  • The State of Judicial Selection in Wisconsin
    BAR ASSOC I AT I O N | R E M AR K S The State of Judicial Selection in Wisconsin With last year’s electoral defeat of a sitting member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court—a result that had not been seen in the state for more than 40 years—there has been renewed discussion of the best means of judicial selection. The Honorable Diane S. Sykes, L’84, Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, contributed to the conversation with a speech at the Eastern District of Wisconsin Bar Association’s 2008 annual meeting at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. We reprint here Judge Sykes’s remarks, which also will appear in the Marquette Law Review. Remarks of the Honorable Diane S. Sykes, L’84 y thanks to the Eastern District Bar Association for Mthe invitation to address your annual meeting, and congratulations to Chief Judge Rudy Randa, U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic, Nathan Fishbach, Dave Erne, and Robert Pledl for well-deserved achievement and service awards. I had prepared a speech on the semi-interesting subject of circuit precedent—more specifically, on the rules and internal operating procedures that our court uses to help us maintain the consistency of our circuit case law. But I have been rethinking my choice of topics in the aftermath of the April 1 election, and when I read the cover story in the opinion section of this past Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,1 I decided to shelve that speech and take advantage of a captive audience of lawyers to say a few words about the state of judicial selection in Wisconsin.
