Scope and Content Note: Records, 1994-1997, of two cases determined to be historically significant by the Wisconsin Department of Justice. There are records of Thompson v. Jackson (95-2153-OA), a case related to the proposed expansion of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program in Tommy Thompson's 1995-1997 biennial budget. The records related to Thompson v. Jackson are primarily briefs. Also included are records for Thompson v. Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP (95-C-1245), a case in which the plaintiffs challenged the at-large election system for trial and appellate courts, believing that this system resulted in racially based voting. Thompson v. NAACP was challenged in the 7th Circuit Court (96-3315) and the U.S. Supreme Court. Records for Thompson v. Jackson include depositions, exhibits, briefs, trial transcript, research, and working papers.
