Shirley S. Abrahamson served on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for 43 years. She was Wisconsin\u2019s first woman justice and chief justice, and she is the longest-serving justice in Wisconsin history. She devoted her record-breaking career to cultivating an independent judiciary, access to justice, equality for all people, and public confidence in the court system.
