Approach to the law
Why Megna said he ran for justice in 2013:
| “ | Because we need to get reacquainted with the practice of “justice for all” in Wisconsin. It’s time to bring common sense and a sense of humanity to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the last place anyone can go for justice and, as such, serving on the Court would be a great honor. That honor comes with great responsibility – responsibility to simply do the right thing.[1] - Vince Megna[4] | ” |
