Wisconsin Supreme Court

Rule Changes

Currently holds a 4-3 liberal majority; outcome of April 7 race could expand it to 5-2

Liberal Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor faced conservative Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar for a 10-year seat being vacated by retiring conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley.
