Litigation and lawfare on Wisconsin Act 10
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagedorn, who served as former Gov. Scott Walker’s chief legal counsel and helped draft the state’s landmark Act 10 law, said Thursday he will not participate in pending litigation seeking to overturn several components in the law.
Hagedorn’s decision to recuse himself marks a major blow to Republicans’ hopes of a favorable ruling in their quest to uphold the 2011 law that gutted public sector collective bargaining in Wisconsin and altered the relationship between government workers and their employers.
Hagedorn, a conservative, wrote in the order that “recusal on this court should be rare — done only when the law requires it.”
“Going beyond that can create problems,” he continued in the two-page order. “We have seen how recusal can be weaponized by parties seeking a litigation advantage.
