Wisconsin judge chosen for 2006 Rehnquist Award

The judge is Edward R. Brunner of the Circuit Court for Barron County. He will receive the 2006 William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence to be presented by the National Center for State Courts.
In addition to his work on tribal court relations, Brunner is noted for establishing restorative justice practices in the Barron County courts.

The award will be presented in a November 16, 2006 ceremony at the Great Hall of the United States Supreme Court (which coincides with the beginning of the Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention, also in Washington, DC).
