Wisconsin official directory

One statewide circuit-court portal. The case-search landing labels the WCCA card Circuit Court. The agreement says summaries are public records entered by county court staff into the circuit court case management system. FAQ 2a says criminal, civil including evictions, traffic, family, and most other non-confidential case types generally appear. The counties-on-ccap table lists 72 county rows, including Rock-Janesville. The county combobox opened to 73 entries beginning Statewide, Adams, Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Brown, Buffalo, Burnett, and including Milwaukee. How far back records go differs by county because each county started CCAP at a different time and decided what old cases to convert.

• Confidential records named on the agreement: adoptions, juvenile delinquency, child protection, termination of parental rights, guardianship, and civil commitments
• Policy also withholds juvenile court records, guardianship proceedings, expunged convictions, the day of birth on non-criminal cases, driver license numbers in traffic cases, and additional text entered before July 1, 2001
• FAQ 2b: some older cases were never converted; expunged, sealed, and shortened-display dismissed or acquitted cases may be absent online while the clerk still holds the file
• FAQ 2e: bankruptcy is federal and is not on WCCA

Statewide DOC locator for people sentenced to DOC incarceration, supervision, or both. The DOC homepage links Person in Our Care or Client Search to https://appsdoc.wi.gov/lop. The legacy URL https://offender.doc.state.wi.us/lop/ redirects there. NOTIS describes the same tool as information about offenders in prison or on community supervision in Wisconsin. County jail is explicitly outside this database.

• Offenders sentenced to county jail
• Adjudicated juvenile offenders
• People of interest to the Department of Justice
• Not a court case search

Official DAI wording that a person not found in a DOC facility may be in a city or county jail administered separately from DOC. The same page says to contact the jail in the county or city of conviction or check VINELink. This page is guidance. It is not a jail roster.

• Does not search city or county jails
• Does not say a missing DOC result means the person is not in jail

Index of official directories. It separates circuit courts and clerks (by county), Court of Appeals (by district), circuit court administrative districts (by district), and municipal courts. It does not itself search cases.

• Not a case search
• Registers in probate link leaves wicourts.gov for an association directory
• State Bar lawyer search is not a court case search

Checked 2026-09-30

• Not a case search
• External county websites were not opened
• Paired counties still appear as separate county rows

Single clerk office for both appellate courts, open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday except state holidays. Phone (608) 266-1880. WSCCA names this office as the official recordkeeper and the contact if WSCCA is incomplete.

• Not a case search; it points to WSCCA for status
• Appellate eFiling described on this page is filing, not search

Checked 2026-09-30

• Not a case search
• Not a county clerk list

Checked 2026-09-30

Administrative supervision districts over the 72 counties. The circuit courts page says there are nine districts numbered 1-5 and 7-10. The contact page is arranged by district and lists chief judges and district court administrators. A district is not a county and is not a municipal court.

• Not a substitute for the county clerk list or WCCA

Checked 2026-09-30

Procedure for scheduling a court appearance for someone housed in a DOC facility: contact that facility's court scheduler, using the locator to find the facility and the July 2026 DAI Court Schedulers list for the contact. Requests should be made at least two working days ahead. This is not a hearing calendar and not a case search.

• People in a city or county jail are outside this DOC scheduling path
• Not a court calendar

Official description of circuit-court subject matter and geography. There is at least one branch in every county except six counties paired as Buffalo/Pepin, Florence/Forest, and Shawano/Menominee.

• Not case search
• Single-judge categories are about how the appeal is decided, not a statement that those cases are absent from WSCCA
