Roggensack on Judicial Independence
I heard about an interesting event this week in Milwaukee while at the law school today...
The Milwaukee Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society invites law students to "A Conversation on Judicial Independence," featuring the Honorable Patience Drake Roggensack, Wisconsin Supreme Court, on Jan. 25, 12:00 - 1:30 p.m., at the Milwaukee Bar Association, 424 East Wells St. There is no cost to attend this event. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP by completing form at http://www.acslaw.org/chapters/lawyer/milwaukee/rsvp.I would love to attend this, but I don't think my schedule will allow it. Justice Roggensack is one of my favorite members of the WI Supreme Court, so seeing her speak would be great.
Justice Patience Drake Roggensack of the Wisconsin Supreme Court will discuss the philosophy underlying judicial independence, its importance and effect in the three tiers of the Wisconsin court system, its relationship to the judiciary's interaction with the other branches of government, and how it relates to the development of common law doctrines, statutory interpretation and constitutional interpretation.
