The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 77 honors Chief Justice Ann Walsh Bradley for her dedicated service to the state of Wisconsin and her significant contributions to the judiciary. Chief Justice Bradley, who has deep familial roots in Wisconsin, began her career as a high school teacher before earning her law degree and becoming the first woman to serve as a circuit court judge in Marathon County. She made history again by being the first woman elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1995 and has since been reelected multiple times, earning respect for her judicial work and community involvement.

In addition to her judicial accomplishments, Chief Justice Bradley has actively contributed to global initiatives focused on gender and human rights, serving in leadership roles with various international judicial organizations. The resolution acknowledges her achievements and the impact she has made throughout her career, culminating in her recent appointment as Chief Justice in 2025. The Wisconsin Legislature expresses its gratitude and honors her upon her retirement from the Supreme Court.
