Prof. Kritzer Interviewed About the Forthcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court Election

Professor Herbert Kritzer was interviewed about the forthcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election in an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Professor Kritzer said that he does not think that one of the candidates identifying himself as a Democrat would have much of an effect on the race because Wisconsin Supreme Court races have been politicized for so long that voters usually have a sense of the partisan support candidates are receiving. Kritzer went on to say, “Wisconsin until 25 years ago had an extremely strong nonpartisan tradition and that has been dissipated, to put it mildly.”
