Evaluating Supreme Court Candidates: What Every Citizen Should Know
As Wisconsin voters prepare for the April 7, 2026 election, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is hosted a timely webinar to help the public better understand how to evaluate candidates running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Evaluating Supreme Court Candidates: What Every Citizen Should Know is designed to equip voters with the knowledge they need to assess judicial candidates.
The discussion will feature a distinguished panel of legal experts, including
- Doug Poland of Law Forward
- Robert Yablon of the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School
- Charles Benjamin Schudson, former Wisconsin appellate judge
Panelists will share insights on the responsibilities of justices, judicial independence, and the key qualifications voters should consider when evaluating candidates for the court.
With the April 7 election approaching, this informational webinar offers voters a valuable opportunity to become more informed before casting their ballots. Civic engagement remains the cornerstone of a healthy democracy, and your vote is your voice. The League encourages voters to take part in this discussion, and share information with friends and family, stay engaged in the issues shaping their communities, and make a plan to get to the polls.
