Madison, Wisconsin — The Wisconsin Supreme Court will release its opinion Friday, June 21 in the politically charged lame-duck case, reads a June 19 Court memo.

The case is 2019AP559 League of Women Voters of Wisconsin v. Tony Evers.

The public release of the ruling was announced on the Wisconsin Supreme Court's Opinions Scheduled for Release Memo, June 19.

Republican-leaning justices on the Court are expected to issue a decision on this intensely political case to favor Republicans over existing law and contemporary statutory interpretation.

Republican-leaning justices on the Court currently hold a four-to-three majority. This Republican majority will increase to five-to-two after Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson is replaced by Republican judge, Brian Hagedorn on July 31, 2019. Hagedorn is not expected to participate in this decision.

The current four Republican Party rightwing justices are Patience D. Roggensack, Annette Kingsland Ziegler, Rebecca Grassl Bradley, and Daniel Kelly.

The case is heavily briefed; and amicus briefs have been filed by dozens of attorneys, scholars, citizen groups' social justice, civil rights, industry and environmental groups.

The briefs offer arguments and points of law, bringing to the attention of the Court salient issues that may otherwise be overlooked.

One such brief was filed by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign last month in May, (Mal Contends).
