Thanks to the American Legion for hosting this amazing program, for these photos, and for letting me join you.

I had an amazing time at ALA Badger Girls State. I met the leaders of tomorrow and was inspired by every single one of them.

It’s one of my favorite things to do every year, and being able to attend as the Chief Justice for the first time was incredibly special.

Justice Karofsky on passing of Sen. Kohl:

“Sen. Kohl modeled how to be compassionate & kind, while also having a spine of steel. No one was tougher, and we were lucky that he was nobody’s senator but ours. I was proud to have his support, and I join all in mourning his loss.”

“Girls are just generally smarter and stronger, and you’re just going to have to work harder if you want to keep up,” Daniel Abrahamson said his mother told him when he would return from Camp Shalom in the summertime, only to be bested by Karofsky once again.” 2/2

“Shirley Abrahamson, the first woman to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and its first female chief justice, had a message for her son Daniel when he would lose at sporting competitions to his rival Jill Karofsky.” 1/2

She attended my circuit court investiture with Justice Ann Walsh Bradley and after the ceremony they sat at a table and chatted with my two kids. I will think of Justice Shirley Abrahamson every single time I walk up the Capitol steps into the Supreme Court.

[Justice Jill Karofsky @judgekarofsky]

I am so saddened by the loss of an icon. Justice Shirley Abrahamson was a trailblazer in every sense of the word.

I am eternally grateful for the path she helped pave for women like me.

Rest In Peace Justice Shirley. You will missed.

Shirley Abrahamson, longest-serving member of Wisconsin Supreme Court, dies at 87

Shirley swore me in in 1992 in a private ceremony. It was just the two of us. I had many contacts with her through the years and I will forever be grateful of her support when I ran for both circuit court and the Supreme Court.

I wish races for SCOWI would become less partisan, & frankly that expectations of SCOTUS were also less partisan. My intention wasn’t to emphasize a Dem comeback, as much as a democratic comeback. We need restoration of democracy & rule of law. https://t.co/L4A6okiBCl

I joined my friend and colleague @justicedallet to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. While 6 of the 7 justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court are women, that is hardly the norm for the judiciary as a whole or the other branches of government.

[Noel King @NoelKing]

@judgekarofsky aaaaahhh!!! I appreciate *everything* about this. Congratulations Justice Karofsky.
