Participating counties
Mandatory eFiling in the Wisconsin circuit courts will be phased in on a county-by-county basis. Once mandatory eFiling has been implemented in a county, attorneys and high-volume filing agents will be required to eFile:
civil and small claims;
family and paternity; and
criminal, traffic, and ordinance cases.
eFiling will continue to be voluntary for all other case types and for self-represented litigants. See Wis. Stats. ยง 801.18 for additional details about mandatory eFiling. The map and table featured here provide a summary of the current state of eFiling and a snapshot of which counties are slated to implement mandatory eFiling next.
Voluntary eFiling. The majority of Wisconsin counties offer voluntary eFiling for civil, family, paternity, and/or small claims cases. Voluntary counties are shaded in gold on the map shown here.
Mandatory eFiling. Between July 2016 and December 2017, all counties will transition to mandatory eFiling for the previously listed case types. Mandatory counties are shaded in dark blue on the map shown here. Counties that are scheduled to implement mandatory eFiling in the near future are patterned with diagonal lines.
Expanded voluntary eFiling. Counties may offer voluntary eFiling for certain case types in addition to those listed above (e.g., probate). Counties patterned with dots on the map currently offer expanded voluntary eFiling in some capacity. Select a county from the dropdown list beneath the map for a description of available eFiling case types.
While eFiling is not currently available for TROs and injunctions, other class codes and case types will be added over time.
For notifications about when new counties or case types will be enabled, subscribe to the eFiling notification service on the right side of the Circuit Court eFiling home page, or follow us on Twitter. The following counties are slated to implement mandatory eFiling over the next several weeks:
