Jim Troupis, a lawyer who represented former President Donald Trump in his attempt to overturn President Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin, has been reappointed to a committee that advises judges on judicial conduct by the state Supreme Court’s four conservative justices. The reappointment was approved on a 4-3 vote, with all three liberal justices dissenting. Troupis’ first term on the Judicial Conduct Advisory Committee was set to expire soon, but with the court’s reappointment, he will remain on the committee until March 7, 2026.
Members of the nine-member advisory committee are limited to two successive three-year terms.
Troupis’ reappointment comes ahead of an April 4 election that will determine majority control of the court for at least the next two years. One of the four conservative justices who voted to reappoint Troupis is retiring.
Troupis is also the defendant in a lawsuit brought by Democrats seeking $2.4 million in damages from the fake electors and attorneys who advised them.
In 2020, Troupis represented Trump in an attempt to disqualify over 221,000 votes in Wisconsin’s two most heavily Democratic counties. Trump did not challenge any votes in counties he won.
Troupis also advised Republicans on their plan to have fake electors cast their ballots for Trump in Wisconsin, even though he had lost.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, liberal attorneys filed an ethics complaint against Michael Gableman, the former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice hired by Republicans to review the 2020 election. The complaint alleges that Gableman “has embraced conspiracy theories, spread lies, rejected facts, impugned the character of people he perceives to be his adversaries, and abused the legal process.”
If any discipline is recommended, it will ultimately be up to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to decide whether to impose any penalties.
