Therequiembellishere -- Why is honorific prefix inappropriate for a state supreme court justice? Where would it be appropriate if not in this case? On parents -- Her mother is a former mayor whose name is well known in the city. On title -- The linebreak in the circuit court office title looks bad on every interface. On residence -- Of course "Residence" is a temporary status, but why does it exist as an infobox field if not to capture the current residence value? On education -- Why is br in the education field superior to an unbulleted list (which is much easier to read on the edit interface)? Asdasdasdff (talk) 01:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an editor, so bring this to the attention of those who might be.
Karofsky was never "general counsel to the Wisconsin State Board of Bar Examiners". I served as director of (properly named) the Wisconsin Supreme Court Board of Bar Examiners from '94 to '06, and we never had a 'general counsel'. When representation outside the board was needed, the Attorney General of Wisconsin so served. Ms. Karofsky was a lawyer for the National Conference of Bar Examiners (a private non-profit), but I did not know what her title was there.
Furthermore, deputy district attorneys in Wisconsin are not political positions but are, instead, civil service positions. The DA is elected.

Thanks for bringing this up, I took that information from her campaign page when I originally wrote this article and had no idea its implications. I've amended the section to (hopefully) be more accurate by removing the mention of "general counsel to the Wisconsin State Board of Bar Examiners" and changing "politics" to "civil service."

Wisconsin's nonpartisan elections, like this one, take the top two candidates in the primary to run in the general; since there is no party nomination system. JustinMal1 (talk) 14:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
