WHO I AM - Judge Jennifer Dorow Bio

First and foremost, I am a judicial conservative who will not legislate from the bench. Serving as a Waukesha County circuit court judge for more than 10 years, I have been elected to multiple terms by constituents who depend on me and look to me to uphold constitutional enforcement of our laws, and to recognize the rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations.


In my 30-year legal career, I have evaluated, advised on, prosecuted, defended, and judged a wide array of cases and issues. With years of experience representing clients and presiding in cases involving civil, business, family, and criminal matters, I am fully aware of how our state’s laws and legal system must operate. In criminal cases, I not only deeply respect victims’ rights and our society’s need for law and order, but also, I understand and respect defendants'’ constitutional rights.


In addition, the Justices of the Supreme Court have acknowledged my abilities by naming me Chief Judge of Third Judicial District and my peers have selected me as the Chairperson of our state’s Chief Judges.
