With this week’s decisions from the supreme court, the Gavels of the State Public Defender’s Office stunned the rest of the league by adding 21 points to their total: six points for a brief, oral argument, and 3-3 decision in Raytrell K. Fitzgerald v. Circuit Court for Milwaukee County; ten points for a brief, oral argument, and favorable outcome in State v. Raytrell K. Fitzgerald; and five points for a brief and oral argument in Waukesha County v. S.L.L.
However, I have been given to understand (unofficially) that there are not likely to be any more public-defender decisions this term, thereby providing the rest of the league an opportunity to reel the Gavels back in during the season’s closing weeks. One team to watch in this regard is the Waivers, who gained a point for an amicus brief by Quarles & Brady in State v. Raytrell K. Fitzgerald.
