Biography

Hon. William F. Kussel, Jr. is a judge for the Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court in the Ninth Judicial District of Wisconsin. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Scott Walker in 2011, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Thomas Grover (Ret.).

Kussel became a tribal prosecutor with the Menominee Tribe in 1986. During his tenure there, he also served as legal counsel to the Menominee Tribal Gaming Commission, led the Office of the Tribal Prosecutor, and advised the tribal police department on various matters.

Kussel received a B.S. from St. Norbert College in 1979. He went on to complete a J.D. at Southwestern Law School in 1984.

Kussel was admitted to practice in California (1985), the District of Columbia (1985), Minnesota (1986), and Wisconsin (1989).
