AI Summary
This joint resolution honors the life and public service of Justice David T. Prosser Jr., who served the people of Wisconsin for over 40 years across all three branches of state government. Prosser's career included 18 years in the Wisconsin Legislature, where he served nine terms, became assembly minority leader and speaker, and was known for his leadership and oratorical skills. He later served on the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission and was appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1998 by Governor Tommy Thompson, serving two 10-year terms until his retirement in 2016. Throughout his career, Prosser was recognized for his keen intellect, fairness, and commitment to mentoring future lawyers and policymakers. He was an active member of numerous councils and commissions, including the Wisconsin Judicial Council and the Uniform Law Commission. The resolution acknowledges Prosser's extensive public service, which began early in his career with roles at the U.S. Department of Justice and in the office of U.S. Congressman Harold Froehlich. After passing away on December 1, 2024, at age 81, Prosser is remembered for his significant contributions to Wisconsin's legal and political landscape and his dedication to public service.
