Judicial Secretary Posting

A few of the more astute members may have noticed a job posting for the Judicial Secreatary position that went out to the public without first being posted to the Union membership.  Well here is the skinny: A Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in 1996 allows judges to appoint their assistants if they so choose.  With the retirement of Jerrie Van Haverbeke, Judge Nielsen has requested to appoint his new assistant.  The new assistant will be treated as all other appointed deputies under current union rules, and members will not be able to post into that position.  Judge Neilsen is accepting and considering all applications he received.  Applications were due March 25, 2011.
