The First Thing Justice-Elect Jill Karofsky Wants To Do Once She Is Sworn In

Published | Video Starts at 02:56

I'm hoping that now that I'm a member of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, or I will be, starting on August 1, that my colleagues and I will sit down and we will draft a very clear recusal rule so that when a substantial amount of money is infused in one of these campaigns, that a justice will not benefit from that. They can take the money, but then they would have to recuse themselves from any case that involved that institution, that organization, or that person. (02:56–03:20)
