Description

Although many lawyers spend their careers in front of judges, the process by which a judge is elected or appointed can sometimes seem shrouded in mystery. What makes for a good judge? How are they chosen? Are there opportunities Wisconsin lawyers aspiring to the state or federal bench should pursue, or pitfalls they should avoid? A panel of Wisconsin-based judges from a variety of courts joins us to discuss the path to the judiciary in Wisconsin, moderated by Milwaukee Chapter President Matthew Fernholz.

Featuring:

  • Hon. Michael J. Aprahamian, Judge, Waukesha County Circuit Court
  • Hon. Rebecca Grassl Bradley, Justice, Wisconsin Supreme Court
  • Hon. William C. Griesbach, Senior District Judge, United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin
  • Moderator: Matthew M. Fernholz, Partner, Cramer, Multhauf & Hammes, LLP & President, Milwaukee Lawyers Chapter
