State's chief justice seeks suggestions from local officials

Mark Gunderman reported in the Chippewa Falls Herald on Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson's stop in Chippewa County, part of her tour of the courts of all Wisconsin Counties.

Abrahamson rejected the labels of conservative and liberal when it comes to judges and judicial decisions.

"It has no meaning in court. You apply the law to the facts," she said. "Judges may disagree on interpretation of the law, but it’s hard to put a label on that in a partisan fashion."
