Another Honor For The Honorable Maryann Sumi

At the end of last year, the Honorable Maryann Sumi, of the Dane County Circuit Court, who had ruled correctly that the Republicans had violated open meeting laws when they rammed through Act 10, was named one of the 2012 Leaders in the Law.

That was just the precursor for her gaining the honor of being named Judge of the Year by the Wisconsin State Bar Association.  Per the State Bar:

State Bar information states The Judge of the Year award recognizes an outstanding circuit court judge who has improved the judicial system during the past year by her leadership. Sumi’s award will be presented in June at the state bar’s annual meeting.

There is no confirmation at this time that Prosser tried to chokehold take defensive action against one of the judges when he learned that he again didn't win an honor.
