Changing Course: The Wisconsin Supreme Court's 2023-24 Term

Product ID: CA3704R7
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

A conversation about the court 

In its 2024 term, the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued only 14 opinions, far fewer than its roughly 50-case average in the previous 4 terms.1 But the rulings it issued are significant enough to reshape the balance of power in our state government. 

At Changing Course: The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s 2023-24 Term, join Howard Schweber for a fascinating look at the state’s high court. You’ll start with a discussion of the evolution of Wisconsin’s judicial elections from 2008 to the present, including the most expensive race of its kind in U.S. history – the 2023 Supreme Court election.2 Then, explore key cases from the court’s most recent term, including:

  • Clarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission – striking down Wisconsin’s legislative maps
  • Priorities USA v. Wisconsin Election Commission – holding that drop boxes can be used to collect absentee ballots
  • Evers v. Marklein – invalidating a legislative committee’s veto power over grant fund expenditures by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 
  • Kindschy v. Aish – finding a harassment injunction to be an impermissible infringement on First Amendment rights
