MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers announced today his appointment of Rachel A. Graham to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District IV. The appointment fills a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Gary Sherman.

Graham is a commercial litigator with the Quarles and Brady, LLP, where she represents a wide variety of clients, including renters and landlords, small and large businesses, employees, and shareholders. She has extensive experience representing clients in appellate courts. In addition, Graham has received numerous awards for her pro bono work, where she has defended the constitutional rights of incarcerated individuals. Graham clerked for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and worked as a special education teacher.

Graham is a graduate of Stevens Point Area Senior High School, Northwestern University, and the University of Wisconsin Law School.
