MADISON -- Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Annette Ziegler is coming under more fire over conflict of interest allegations.

The conservative judge has been fending off such charges since last week, when a liberal activist group claimed she didn't recuse herself in cases involving West Bend Bank, where her husband is a director.

And in today's Wisconsin State Journal she's accused of presiding over at least 22 cases involving companies she owned at least $50,000 worth of stock in over the past 10 years. She's also overseen 12 involving companies she's held $5,000-$50,000 in, the Journal claims.

Ziegler said many of the 34 cases cited were uncontested matters where the same defendants didn't even show up. The companies involved included JP Morgan Chase, M&I Bank and United Healthcare.

Ziegler's liberal opponent for the seat, Linda Clifford, has been making hay over the initial conflict-of-interest allegation, reported in LegalNewsLine early last week. Clifford, a Madison attorney, finished a distant second to Ziegler in last month's primary.

Ziegler and Clifford both recently filed statements of economic interest that were published Saturday by a political website WisPolitics.com. According to the statements, Ziegler's family investments total $2.625 million while Clifford's total $465,000.

Ziegler recently recused herself from a case involving Wal-Mart after critics pointed out she owned $100,000 in company stock. She has either recused herself or has been substituted 98 times since her appointment in 1997, the State Journal reported.

Ziegler and Clifford will face each other in a general election on April 3.
