With the filing of the last substantive decision of the term earlier this month, the 2017-18 fantasy league season has concluded—and the Gavels of the State Public Defender’s Office have three-peated as champions. The Gavels rebuffed spirited challenges from the Waivers and the Affirmed, both of whom finished with 73 points. Although this total would easily have won the league championship in 2015-16, it proved insufficient to overcome the Gavels two years later. They seized the lead in mid-January and clutched it with an ever-tightening grip all the rest of the way, finishing with 95 points and eclipsing their own record of the previous year.
Those unable to attend last week’s awards banquet may not be aware that Hannah Schieber Jurss was saluted as this season’s MVP for the 30 points that she contributed to the Gavels’ victory. Her stunning total of five oral arguments even surpassed the number delivered by the most active attorney from the Department of Justice—this year, the Solicitor General himself—a rare accomplishment indeed. Several other firms (most notably Quarles & Brady) were also recognized for their impressive performances, which are evident in the following table.
As the season comes to a close, the Executive Committee at SCOWstats would like to take this opportunity express gratitude for the recent listing in Feedspot’s compilation of the “Top 60 Wisconsin Blogs” in 2018.
