Wisconsin court records are filed with the Clerk of Circuit Court. The Circuit Court (unified) handles trial-level cases. Wisconsin offers a statewide court search through Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA), which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Wisconsin state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA) for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Clerk of Circuit Court in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA) covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Wisconsin (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
