These tables are derived from information contained in 289 Wisconsin Supreme Court decisions that were turned up in a Nexis Uni search for decisions filed between September 1, 1975, and August 31, 1976. The total of 289 decisions does not include rulings arising from (1) disciplinary matters involving lawyers and judges, and (2) per curiam decisions involving various motions and petitions.
Security Sav. & Loan Asso. v. Wauwatosa Colony, Inc. yielded a fragmented decision. Thus, I will only include this case in the following tables: “Distribution of Opinion Authorship,” “Average Time Between Oral Argument and Opinions Authored by Each Justice,” and “Number of Oral Arguments Presented by Individual Firms and Agencies.”
The tables are available as a complete set and by individual topic in the subsets listed below.
