Women’s representation in Wisconsin’s courts has continued to grow over the past 20 years. All three court levels—Circuit Court, Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court—show steady increases in the share of women serving.
The total number of women serving as judges in Wisconsin has increased substantially, rising from 41 in 2005 to 106 in 2025. Increases within the Circuit Courts primarily drive this growth. As women’s numbers have grown, so has their overall share of the judiciary, reaching nearly 37% in 2025, up from 15% in 2005.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court continues to be predominantly female, with six of the seven seats held by women!
