He has taught over 2,300 Wisconsin lawyers including judges and elected officials.

Ed is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court to preserve the independence of the judiciary and defend our rights to equal treatment under the law and self-governance.
  • Make our court system more accessible for people of limited economic means.
  • Protect the power of the people to use government as a means to regulate conduct threatening the health, safety, and financial well being of Wisconsin residents.
  • End the politicization of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and restore independence to that body.
For over 30 years, I have consistently spoken out in support of core constitutional

values like the right of self-government, the need for transparency in government, equal
protection for all under the law, and the harm caused when religious beliefs are allowed

to influence health care decisions.
