who spent nearly two decades as a justice on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Prosser was 81 years old and had cancer, according to his family Before serving on the state’s highest court Prosser spent 18 years as a Republican state representative including a stint as Assembly speaker in 1995 He ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1996 who was born in Chicago and raised in Appleton was first appointed to a partial term on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court by Republican Gov Prosser twice won election to full terms on the court That included a narrow April 2011 victory over JoAnne Kloppenburg That election was largely seen as a referendum on the state law known as Act 10 which had sparked massive protests at the Wisconsin state Capitol Scott Walker signed the sweeping legislation in March 2011 which curtailed collective bargaining rights for most public employees A statement Monday from Wisconsin Chief Justice Anette Ziegler praised Prosser for his “keen intellect and deep sense of fairness to every case.” “He was well known for digging into the books and conducting exhaustive research often ‘burning the midnight oil’ in the law library,’” the statement said “Justice Prosser possessed a critical understanding of Prosser was part of the court’s conservative majority that eventually upheld Act 10 an argument over Act 10 deliberations between Prosser and a liberal justice turned physical Prosser admitted he put his hands on Justice Ann Walsh Bradley’s neck after he says she charged at him No charges were filed following a criminal investigation into the incident Prosser retired from the Wisconsin Supreme Court court in 2016 the high court named Wisconsin’s Law Library in his honor But, in 2024, after liberal justices gained a majority, the state Supreme Court renamed the library in honor of Wisconsin’s first female lawyer  Lavinia Goodell Prosser was among the former justices tapped by state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to give advice on whether lawmakers should attempt to impeach Janet Protasiewicz Republicans have criticized Protasiewicz for not recusing herself from cases related to the drawing of Wisconsin’s electoral districts after she referred to the legislative maps as “rigged” on the campaign trail But in an email to Vos, Prosser strongly advised against attempting to unseat the justice referring to impeachment as “serious Tommy Thompson called Prosser a “true gentleman.” Thompson described meeting with a smiling Prosser last week and chatting about current events “A man of deep conviction and intense loyalty to our way of life there was no real democracy and that to avoid the slings and arrows of public life was to surrender one’s convictions,” Thompson’s statement said Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and

When I interviewed David Prosser in early March 2011 as he was seeking reelection to a second 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court when the building was packed with protesters opposing Gov Scott Walker’s plan to strip most public employees including teachers of their collective bargaining rights a custodian he knew well came into his chamber He noticed that she was not wearing earplugs the noise has just been deafening,” recalled Prosser a former state lawmaker who was appointed to the court in 1998 by then Gov Tommy Thompson and was elected to his first term without opposition in 2001 He noted that law enforcement officers throughout the Capitol were wearing protection against ear damage from the cacophony and it made sense to him that the custodial crew should be wearing them “I think you need earplugs,” he told the custodian did something about it: “I went down to the police and said ‘You have got to give custodians at least the opportunity to wear earplugs.’ It was done within the hour.” when Walker’s declaration of war on unions and his austerity measures for schools turned the Capitol into an occupied territory Prosser’s once-commanding lead in the Supreme Court race evaporated as voters identified him with Walker and the Republicans and lined up behind his opponent longtime Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg Beside being thoughtful toward custodian staff Prosser contended during our 90-minute interview that he was not the raging ideologue people were making him out to be he gave me a list of 13 court decisions in which he had sided with the court’s reigning liberal But he also admitted that it “is usually not difficult to determine exactly what the vote was” in closed session after oral arguments something he had his staff engage in as a guessing game The court was and remains an ideological institution and he found his place among its conservative wing Prosser ended up winning that election by a margin so thin it took days to call and led to a recount stepping down in 2016 and letting Walker appoint his successor who would go on to lose two elections to liberal rivals I was the reporter who broke this story shortly after leaving Isthmus after 25 years and taking a job at the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism It set off a tidal wave of accusation and recrimination Justice Patience Roggensack accused Bradley and Abrahamson of leaking the story from others who were made aware of what had happened I gave a talk about the Supreme Court to the Wisconsin League of Women Voters As I looked out into the audience I saw that Prosser was in attendance where he was intent on showing me how he had touched Bradley’s neck He walked toward me in pantomime and replicated what he said transpired On Monday, the day after Prosser’s death, a Dane County judge issued a ruling that could restore the collective bargaining rights of public employees Prosser attended DePauw University and UW Law School He worked as a lecturer at the Indiana University-Indianapolis law school He served in the state Assembly from 1979 to 1996 including six years as minority leader and two years as speaker He served briefly on the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission before being appointed to the bench in her statement Monday announcing Prosser’s passing remembered him fondly and hailed his legacy: “On the bench Justice Prosser brought a keen intellect and deep sense of fairness to every case leaving an indelible mark on Wisconsin jurisprudence He was well known for digging into the books and conducting exhaustive research often ‘burning the midnight oil’ in the law library.” One attorney I spoke to for a profile of the court likened Prosser to a Shakespearean figure haunting the chambers of justice deep into the night His work was his life and one sensed he felt diminished by its absence In 2017, Prosser wrote a lengthy article for Isthmus arguing in favor of a state gas tax and other vehicle-related fees It concluded: “These unpopular suggestions are intended to provoke meaningful dialogue Readers should accompany all criticisms and invective against the author with realistic alternatives.” In an accompanying interview with Isthmus editor Judith Davidoff arguing that Democrats “deserve credit for their courage to vote no” on a 2006 repeal of gas tax indexing “And if they still have the same integrity some will say we have to vote for additional revenue here It would be very easy to say these stupid Republicans created the problem now so we get to vote ‘no’ on any gas tax increase.” I’m a pretty conservative guy but there will always be a place for intelligent The country always has to be moving forward.” I prowled the halls of the Capitol for nearly 40 years one of the very best legislators during that time period He held a powerful position — Assembly Speaker — but the power never went to his head He enforced the law as a District Attorney He staffed a member of the House Judiciary Committee during Watergate He wrote the law as a minority and majority legislator And he interpreted the law as a Tax Appeals Commissioner and Supreme Court Justice He was never punished for his violence against a female colleague This is an example of the Tolerance Paradox And that's exactly where we are as a society please send an email with the following information to calendar@isthmus.com Here's the information we need to include your event in our calendar: * event date; RSVP/ticket deadline if there is one email or website we can publish (REQUIRED) Optional info:* bios/press releases for posting with the online listing FILE - Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser speaks to Dane County Circuit Court Representative Marie A Stanton during a hearing at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison Prosser was involved in some of Wisconsin’s most contentious political battles most notably the 2011 law championed by then-Republican Gov Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers which turned that contest into a referendum of sorts on Walker and the proposed law The incident was investigated but no charges were filed The Wisconsin Judicial Commission filed an ethics complaint against Prosser but the court did not have a quorum to consider it after the three other conservative justices recused themselves Prosser and two other retired justices were tapped by Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to advise him on whether liberal Justice Janet Protasiewicz could be impeached for comments she made while running for a seat on the court Prosser advised against impeachment and Vos didn’t pursue it Prosser graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison law school in 1968 Department of Justice and as a lecturer at the Indiana University-Indianapolis law school during the late 1960s and early 1970s He was elected to the state Assembly as a Republican in 1978 after a stint as Outagamie County district attorney he helped lead the push to provide funding for Miller Park the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium now known as American Family Field After nearly two years as a member of the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission Prosser was appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1998 by then-Gov Prosser won election to 10-year terms in 2001 and again in 2011 who was governor when Prosser was speaker of the Assembly said in a statement Monday that Prosser “brought common sense solutions to the issues our state faced.” “I could always count on him to be candid in discussions and results oriented in action,” Thompson said Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Annette Ziegler said Prosser “profoundly shaped the legal “His exemplary service in all three branches of government demonstrated his unparalleled versatility and dedication to the public good,” she said Prosser’s time on the high court was marked by his altercation with Bradley and feuds between the conservative and liberal justices most notably former Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson Emails emerged in 2011 showing Prosser used an expletive to describe Abrahamson in 2010 and threatened to “destroy” her as the justices debated whether to remove conservative-leaning Justice Mike Gableman from a criminal case David T. Prosser, Jr., a prominent figure in Wisconsin for the last forty-five years, held many significant positions during his distinguished career of public service: Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, Commissioner of the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission, and Outagamie County District Attorney, among others. But after he passed away this month at the age of 81 those who gathered to celebrate his life remembered him not only as a hard worker and skilled jurist but also—and perhaps more importantly—as a trusted mentor Justice Prosser certainly deserved those accolades I served as his law clerk during the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s 2004-2005 term and I observed firsthand his skill as a writer Upon arriving at the state capitol in early August 2004 Justice Prosser immediately put me at ease That year on the Court was perhaps the greatest experience of my professional career and I often reflect on those times I certainly would not be where I am today without him As with many of those whose lives he touched Justice Prosser always had my best interests in mind He kept in touch with me and followed my career even long after I worked for him I needed a letter of recommendation in a short time frame during a busy period at the court After apologizing for the quick turnaround I asked when he might be able to get it in the mail—to which he answered He had not only written it in less than a day but also driven two hours each way to ensure it arrived on time “I’m sure you have better things to do than have dinner with me.” His humility was one of his defining features Those gathered at his funeral told many stories of a similar nature explaining how Justice Prosser dropped everything to help a friend or family member in need Justice Prosser was a great friend of Marquette Law School, often appearing at events, lectures, dinners, and the like. Many of his clerks were Marquette lawyers, and they went on to successful careers as judges and lawyers in a variety of practice settings. He was featured in the Summer 2017 edition of Marquette Lawyer magazine highlighting how he enjoyed hiring law clerks from Marquette and how much they helped him The previous year, in an interview with the Wisconsin State Bar on the occasion of his retirement from the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2016 Justice Prosser said he wanted to be remembered as an important decision-maker but also much more to those of us who had the good fortune to know him we honor the person he was and the life he led Thank you for writing this thoughtful post I came to the J’s chambers four years after you and I recall his fondness for you and other clerks who preceded me I remember feeling slightly inadequate for the job because of how Justice Prosser often lauded those who had worked for him previously I realized it was likely every clerk felt that way when they started because Justice Prosser had such a genuine interest I know he remained invested in our personal and professional lives long after we left the Court I will miss him greatly and remember him fondly Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
