Joseph Diedrich will moderate, "Cooks in the Kitchen: Law Development in the Wisconsin Court System," at the State Bar of Wisconsin Annual Meeting & Conference on Thursday, June 20, 2024.
In Cook v. Cook, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held the Wisconsin Court of Appeals does not have the power to overrule, modify, or withdraw language from its prior decisions. Since then, Cook has been cited in numerous cases as grounds for the Court of Appeals to refrain from answering questions when the outcome might conflict with or modify precedent. Examine recent decisions from the Wisconsin Supreme Court considering the impact of Cook and its progeny on the development of Wisconsin law.
