A Celebration of Service in Honor of Chief Justice Ann Walsh Bradley

After three decades on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Chief Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is retiring July 31. Known for her unshakeable commitment to the rule of law, Bradley has been a strong presence during some of the court’s most contentious chapters — including her dissent to the 2014 decision upholding Gov. Scott Walker’s Act 10. In an era marked by deep political division, she brought both clarity and conviction to the bench. This public celebration honors her lasting impact on Wisconsin’s legal landscape. The program begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Capitol Rotunda, with a reception to follow. All are welcome; register here.
