Justice Crooks dies at State Capitol

Noted: University of Wisconsin law professor Howard Schweber said in an email to News 3, “By any reasonable standard, Justice Crooks must certainly be remembered as a conservative judge. But unlike some of the more recent generation of conservatives he was eminently capable of forming coalitions with his more liberal colleagues on issues where they found points of agreement. Whether one is a conservative or a liberal, we should mourn the loss of a jurist who was capable of having strong beliefs without being narrowly partisan.”
