Wisconsin is considered among the four states with the weakest recusal rules for judges receiving campaign contributions.
Our state's judges and justices may decide for *themselves* whether to recuse in a case involving a party who contributed to them.
With a crucial State Supreme Court election on April 2nd, it is imperative that voters understand why we need stronger judicial recusal rules AND where the two candidates stand on the issue. Voter turnout in State Supreme Court and all judicial elections matters.
Please join us for this important town hall meeting where you can ask questions and learn more about:
- Engaging with judicial candidates, and the importance of voting in State Supreme Court Elections;
- Why stronger recusal rules are needed for judges at all levels who receive campaign contributions;
- What Wisconsinites can do to help bring about fairer courts.
Speakers: former La Crosse County Circuit Court Judges John Perlich and Dale Pasell, Viterbo College's D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership Director Richard Kyte, League of Women Voters of WI Director Erin Grunze, and CC/WI Exec. Director Jay Heck.
