The chief judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals has filed for candidacy to become a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice.
Judge Lisa Neubauer filed over 5,500 signatures on Thursday, and is the first candidate to file for the 2019 spring election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Neubauer has been on the appeals court for 10 years and has been chief judge since 2015. She was a litigation attorney for nearly two decades at Foley & Lardner before joining the appellate court and also served as a law clerk for Judge Barbara Crabb, then-Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin’s western district.
