This conference will review the 2008-09 term of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, preview the term just begun, and address ongoing matters concerning the role of the Court and the impact of campaign speech and finance on its work.
Panels will address the Court’s past term in the areas of business law, torts, and product liability; substantive and procedural criminal law; and public law. Separate panels will address the ongoing debate concerning the Court’s jurisprudence and questions of judicial independence in the context of recent election cycles and the United States Supreme Court’s developing jurisprudence on due process and free speech, including the 2009 decision in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Company. The tentative schedule follows here.
