    RECOGNIZING WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT JUSTICE PATIENCE ROGGENSACK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BRYAN STEIL

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 27, 2023

  Mr. STEIL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Wisconsin 
Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack's 20 years of service on the 
Wisconsin Supreme Court.
  Justice Roggensack's legal legacy will be long remembered. She helped 
to guide the court throughout her tenure during some of its most 
important times. She has mentored countless attorneys and judges and 
will continue to serve as an important role model for the next 
generation of judges. She will always serve as their fiercest advocate.
  Justice Roggensack led a historic career. Before serving on the 
Supreme Court, Justice Roggensack served on the Wisconsin Court of 
Appeals for 7 years. She was elected to the Supreme Court in 2003. I 
had the great honor of working for Justice Roggensack shortly after law 
school and saw her dedication to the law, her diligent work ethic, and 
her compassion for serving Wisconsin. Everyone who has worked with 
Justice Roggensack, including myself, has benefited from her 
mentorship.
  12 years after her election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Justice 
Roggensack became the first Justice to be elected by her colleagues in 
the court to the position of Chief Justice. She held the position of 
Chief Justice for 6 years until relinquishing it in 2021. Justice 
Roggensack's incredible service, dedication, and outstanding 
accomplishments will be long remembered after her July 31, 2023 
retirement.
  I congratulate Justice Patience Roggensack on her retirement and 20 
years of service to Wisconsin.
