}}Patience Drake "Pat" Roggensack (born July 7, 1940) is the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.[1] She was elected to the Supreme Court in 2003 and was re-elected in 2013. Her current term expires July 31, 2023.[2]

Early life and career

Roggensack was born in Joliet, Illinois. She graduated from Lockport Township High School in Lockport, Illinois; she then received her bachelor's degree from Drake University in 1962, and her law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1980. Roggensack then practiced law in Madison, Wisconsin.

Roggensack's daughter, Ellen Brostrom, serves as a circuit court judge in Milwaukee County.[3]

Judge, Justice, and Chief Justice

Before joining the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Roggensack was elected to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in 1996 and re-elected in 2002. Prior to serving on the Court of Appeals, she practiced law for 16 years, including at the DeWitt Ross & Stevens S.C. firm in Madison, Wisconsin.

Roggensack was elected Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court by her peers on April 29, 2015, following the certification of votes from the April 2015 election. Voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that changed the way the chief justice of the Supreme Court was selected. Previously the justice with the most seniority held the position, but the amendment allowed court members to choose the chief justice.

Following the justices' election of Roggensack as chief justice, former Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson filed a federal lawsuit challenging the implementation of the constitutional amendment, which was heard on May 15, 2015. Five of the seven justices asked the federal judge to dismiss Abrahamson’s lawsuit.[4] On May 15, 2015 the federal court denied Abrahamson's request for immediate reinstatement as Chief Justice. U.S. District Judge James Peterson determined there was no harm in Roggensack serving as chief justice while Abrahamson's lawsuit continued.[5]
