Scott Southworth
Scott Southworth graduated with Distinction from UW-Madison with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1994 and received his Juris Doctor with Honors from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1997 with emphases in Constitutional Law and Juvenile Justice.

In 2004, Scott Southworth was elected District Attorney for Juneau County, Wisconsin, where he prosecuted homicides, crimes against children and other major felonies. In 2010, Scott helped spearhead the effort to create Veterans Treatment Courts around Wisconsin to address criminal behavior by veterans directly connected to their combat service. He also established a highly-successful diversion program to assist young adults from becoming repeat offenders.

In 2000 Scott served as the lead plaintiff in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Southworth v. The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin, establishing new First Amendment protections for students at public universities across the United States.

Scott served as a Military Police Officer with the United States Army until 2024, achieving the rank of Colonel.  During his 35 years in the military, Scott served as the commander of four separate units, to include the 32nd Military Police Company, which he led during a deployment to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. There, he was responsible for the rebuilding of the Iraqi Police Service (IPS) in northeast Baghdad in 2003-2004. Scott personally captured the commanding general of the Iraqi Army in charge of Baghdad during the war and established a new training program for Iraqi Police Service Investigators. For exceptional wartime service, he received the Bronze Star Medal, the Combat Action Badge, Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal and Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

During his military service in Iraq, Scott met Ala'a Eddeen, a 10-year old boy with cerebral palsy at the Mother Teresa orphanage in Baghdad. In 2005, he returned to Iraq to bring Ala'a to the U.S. and later adopted him. Scott later adopted 7-year old Rumen, an orphan from Bulgaria and 12-year old Solomon from China.
​
Currently Scott Southworth works as a criminal defense lawyer representing clients in Sauk County, Juneau County, Columbia County, Adams County, Marquette County, Jackson County and the cities of Wisconsin Dells, Adams-Friendship, Baraboo, Mauston and Portage.
