Five district chief judges reappointed

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has re-appointed five circuit court judges to continue serving as chief judges of their respective judicial administrative districts:

	District 1 (Milwaukee County): Jeffrey A. Kremers, Milwaukee County
	District 4 (Calumet, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Winnebago counties): Darryl W. Deets, Manitowoc County
	District 5 (Dane, Green, Lafayette, and Rock counties): C. William Foust, Dane County
	District 7 (Buffalo, Crawford, Grant, Iowa, Jackson, La Crosse, Monroe, Pepin, Pierce, Richland, Trempealeau, and Vernon counties): William D. Dyke, Iowa County
	District 10 (Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Chippewa, Douglas, Dunn, Eau Claire, Polk, Rusk, St. Croix, Sawyer, and Washburn counties): Benjamin D. Proctor, Eau Claire County

The chief judges begin their new terms on Aug. 1. They are eligible to serve a maximum of six years in this leadership role.

Wisconsin is divided into 10 districts for purposes of administering the state court system. Each district has a management team consisting of a chief judge, a deputy chief judge, and a district court administrator. Chief judges manage the flow of cases, supervise personnel, develop budgets, and meet monthly as a committee to work on issues of statewide importance. With the exception of Milwaukee, where the chief judge is a full-time administrator, chief judges and their deputies maintain court calendars in addition to handling administrative matters.
