Rebecca G. Bradley is an American jurist and a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, serving since 2015.
Life and career
Born in Milwaukee, Bradley graduated from Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin Law School.[1] Bradley worked as an attorney at several Milwaukee law firms, specializing in commercial litigation and intellectual property law, and as a software company executive.[2] Considered a conservative, Bradley served as president of the Milwaukee Federalist Society chapter and participated in the Thomas More Society and the Republican National Lawyers Association.[3] Bradley was a contributor to the campaign of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a Republican.[4]
In December 2012, Walker appointed Bradley to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, where she served in the children's court division.[1][2] She was elected to a six-year term on the court in April 2013, receiving substantial support from the conservative Wisconsin Club for Growth.[2] In May 2015, Walker elevated Bradley to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Judge Ralph Adam Fine.
After the death of Justice N. Patrick Crooks in 2015, Bradley was appointed by Governor Walker to serve as a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She will finish the remainder of Crooks' term, and will be up for election in April 2016.
