Exploring Wisconsin's Appellate Court System with Judge Maria S. Lazar

Published | Video Starts at 32:49

So when I ran in my election and circuit court court, I could run and there could be several other judges running because they're Branch 2, Branch 5, whatever it is. On the court of appeals, we don't have a branch. So there can only be one court of appeals judge in the April election. So if there's two openings, only the first one runs, then the next year the next one runs. And that's the same for the state supreme court. Goodness. (32:49–32:57)
