In a sign he may be eyeing a presidential run in 2016, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is at work on a book likely to touch on such subjects as his family life, his rise to Badger State prominence, and the legislative achievement that has boosted his national political profile: a state law that restricts the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Given how frequently the first-term Republican and his allies have turned to its lawyers, Michael Best & Friedrich may merit its own chapter in the Walker saga.
During Walker’s often tumultuous first two years in office, the Milwaukee-based firm has defended the governor in a bevy of lawsuits related to the collective bargaining law, which is known as Act 10; advised him in connection with an ultimately unsuccessful recall effort last year; acted as counsel to GOP lawmakers amid a legislative redistricting fight; and represented a Republican state judge caught up in an ethics inquiry.
