Tom Fairchild: 1912-2007: 'One of the greatest judges'

Deborah Ziff reports in the Wisconsin State Journal on the death Monday of the former state attorney general, state supreme court justice, and Seventh Circuit Judge.

[Former Chief Justice Nathan] Heffernan, who joined the Supreme Court in 1964, recalled that Fairchild always dressed very conservatively, in dark blue and black garb. When Heffernan asked Fairchild about his apparel, Fairchild responded, "You can get by with a hell of a lot of liberalism if you dress conservative enough."
