The John K. MacIver Institute urged the Wisconsin Supreme Court to investigate claims that a retired judge influenced a 2020 election case, citing potential bias due to his son’s role as court clerk.
The John K. MacIver Institute filed an amicus brief with the Wisconsin Supreme Court on March 6, 2026, urging it to review allegations of judicial impropriety in a 2020 election-related case involving Judge Jim Troupis.
The brief calls for an evidentiary hearing to examine claims that a retired judge, whose son is the current court clerk, may have influenced a key circuit court decision, possibly even drafting it.
The circuit court dismissed these concerns without a hearing, prompting the appeal.
The institute argues that failing to investigate risks undermining public trust in the judiciary, especially in high-profile political cases, and emphasizes the need for impartiality and transparency to maintain confidence in the legal system.
