    We mourn the loss of former WI Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson. Abrahamson, who received her SJD from UW Law & later served on the faculty, became the 1st woman to serve on the WI Supreme Court. She became the 1st female chief justice of the state’s high court in 1996.
    Shirley Abrahamson speaks at an event in her honor on June 18, 2019, in the Wisconsin State Capitol Rotunda.
