Wisconsin State Court Records Search Suggestions

Wisconsin State Court Structure:

The Wisconsin municipal courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear cases that involve ordinance violations. If a municipality does not have a municipal court, ordinance violations are heard in circuit court. Wisconsin's circuit courts have jurisdiction to hear all civil and criminal matters written within the state, including probate, juvenile, and traffic matters, as well as civil and criminal jury trials. Wisconsin's court of appeals for the most part deal with cases of mandatory jurisdiction, meaning appeals from circuit courts and that they are required to hear by law. Wisconsin's highest court is the supreme court. The supreme court has jurisdiction over all Wisconsin courts and has discretion to determine which appeals it will hear. The supreme court may also hear original actions, cases that have not been heard in a lower court. The court selects the cases it will review based on criteria described in the Wisconsin Statutes.
