Law firm knee deep in state's many hot-button issues.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 1/22/2012)
The news last month that a conservative Supreme Court justice had received two years of free legal service while fighting an ethics charge was just the latest indication of an increasingly cozy relationship between the Republican Party and one of Wisconsin's most prominent law firms. 
The state is going through a particularly litigious period in its history, with nearly every piece of major legislation facing some kind of legal challenge.
