What is Wisconsin Courts Online?
Wisconsin Courts Online is the judicial system court portal used in the state of Wisconsin. This system allows users to track, manage, and access court documents and court cases filed in Wisconsin County and Municipal courts.
How are Wisconsin Courts Online Managed?
Wisconsin uses a consolidated courts system to manage its online judicial system services. This system consists of the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access program and the Consolidated Court Automation Programs. It is maintained and updated through the Director of the State Court and the State Court administration office.
The Chief Information Officer assigned to this position is responsible for the IT aspects of the online court system. IT support is provided to users through the CCAP technical support staff managed by the Chief Information Officer.
Information that is accessible through the court management system is maintained by the record keeper of the court case. This is assigned to the county courthouse where the case was filed.
