Meet Chief Judge Lisa Neubauer

“I’m running because I care about making sure our courts keep our communities safe and uphold the rule of law.

Now, more than ever, we need our courts to protect the rights of all Wisconsinites and the fundamental principles of our democracy.”

As Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Judge Neubauer has spent more than a decade protecting women and children from abusers, and making sure that victims and their families receive justice.

Judge Neubauer also has decades of experience as a Wisconsin litigation attorney prior to becoming a judge. She was a partner at Foley and Lardner LLP and chair of the firm’s Insurance Dispute Resolution Practice Group. She co-chaired the firm’s national recruiting committee.

Before joining the Court of Appeals in 2008, Judge Neubauer was named to 2007 and 2008 editions of The Best Lawyers in America, and named to 2006 and 2007 lists of Wisconsin Super Lawyers.

Judge Neubauer battled breast cancer over a decade ago with the help of her family, friends and incredibly supportive colleagues at her former law firm, Foley & Lardner. She understands the critical importance of high quality and affordable health care.
