If you need to access Wisconsin court cases records and documents you can use the circuit court access system used by all courts in the state. This is a centralized database that allows individuals to inspect, research, and view court cases filed in the Wisconsin Judicial system.
Understanding Wisconsin Circuit Acess
This system is accessible by the public, attorneys, court clerks, judges, and various government agencies to communicate about court cases. Information is entered into the circuit court access database and the system is updated hourly to ensure the most current information is accessible to all parties.
The database is maintained by the Wisconsin Director of the State Court’s office in Madison and is updated to reflect any recent changes in Wisconsin laws and statutes.
What information is found using Wisconsin Circuit Acess?
The type of information that is available through this database varies depending on the type of court documents that you are viewing and the agency that enters the information. You can find court records on criminal, civil, family, probate, traffic, and other types of legal cases filed in a Wisconsin court.
The type of information that you will not find in the database is records that have been expunged, sealed, or anything involving juveniles or minors. Law enforcement agencies input arrests made and citations that are issued into the system regardless of a court case being filed.
The information contained in this system is public information and is the same information that can be found in the county clerk’s offices and state law enforcement agencies. This centralized database was created to make it easier to communicate and update court cases while eliminating excessive paperwork.
How do you find information on Wisconsin Circuit Acess?
Information can easily be found through the circuit court access by using the Wisconsin Courts Judicial System website. On this website, there is a link that will direct you to the database. Once you have accessed the database, you can begin looking for court cases and documents by entering in the individual’s personal information, a case number, and/or a citation number.
After entering this information into the system you will be directed to a search results page. This page will contain basic information including the party of the case, the assigned case number, and the type of case. Once you have located the individual in question, you will need to click on the individual’s name to retrieve their case summary.
The case summary page will give you options to access court case documents that have been uploaded to the case. At that point, you have the option to view the case or print it out.
Getting Help With Access
If you need assistance while researching or attempting to locate documents, you can contact the clerk of court’s office where the case was filed. You can also contact the technical support hotline if you need technical help. If you still have questions or need assistance you can reach out to the Director of the State Court’s office.
