STATEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE ANNETTE KINGSLAND ZIEGLER
*
August 4, 2023 - Today, four rogue members of the court met in a secret,
unscheduled, illegitimate closed meeting in an attempt to gut the Chief
Justice’s constitutional authority as administrator of the court (see attached).
Court business concerning Internal Operating Procedures and Supreme Court Rules
is conducted when seven members of the court convene with an agenda prepared by
the Chief Justice and at a time set by the Chief Justice during the court’s
business year, which is September-June. The rogue justices' attempt to go
outside of this recognized procedure is an imposition of will and a raw exercise
of overreaching power. Any such attempted action is illegitimate and
unenforceable. see full article

STATEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE ANNETTE KINGSLAND ZIEGLER
*
August 2, 2023 - The unauthorized action taken today by some of my colleagues
firing Director of State Courts Randy Koschnick is flawed procedurally, legally,
and on its merits. As Chief Justice, I contemplated actions I might take to
attempt to stop this unauthorized action, but given my colleagues’ reckless
conduct, other court employees would also become victims of this unauthorized
action. I say this because it would be other court employees who would suffer
the consequences of choosing to follow my directive over following the demand of
four justices. And these valued employees may then be at risk of losing their
jobs. Our valued employees would be put in a lose-lose situation, and I can’t
risk putting the jobs of more employees of the court in jeopardy. see full
