Wisconsin Supreme Court
MADISON, Wis. - In-person oral arguments will resume in the state Supreme Court next week.
Arguments are slated to begin the morning of Sept. 9 with a case involving setting deadlines for jury trials in mental health commitments.
The session will mark the first time the justices have heard oral arguments in the court’s state Capitol hearing room since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in Wisconsin.
