Following is a brief overview of the Wisconsin Court System: Circuit courts - Single level trial court since 1978 - 249 circuit judges in 72 counties. Judges elected countywide to six-year terms in non-partisan elections - Milwaukee County is the largest jurisdiction with 47 judges - 30 counties have one judge each; smaller counties share a judge Court of Appeals - Created in 1978 and originally designed to handle 1,200 cases per year - Mostly mandatory jurisdiction, meaning that litigants have the right to appeal their cases from the circuit court to the Court of Appeals - 16 judges in four districts. Judges elected district wide to six-year terms Supreme Court - Seven justices elected statewide to 10-year terms - Court of last resort - Court reviews approximately 1,000 petitions per year and accepts between 100 and 120 Administrative/management structure The administrative structure of the court system is detailed in Article VII, section 4(3) of the Wisconsin Constitution, Statute (758.19) and Supreme Court Rule (SCR) Chapter 70. The chief justice is the administrative head of the judicial system, exercising authority according to procedures adopted by the Supreme Court. The structure is analogous to a corporation, with the chief justice as the chair of the board, the other justices as the board of directors, and the director of state courts as the chief operating officer. For administrative purposes, the circuit courts are divided into ten judicial administrative districts. The judicial business in each district is supervised by a chief judge selected by the Supreme Court. Each district also has a district court administrator who is a permanent employee of the Director of State Courts Office who in turn is assisted by a court management assistant. The district court administrators' offices are generally located in the largest city in the respective district.Wisconsin Court System / Wisconsin Supreme Court Address
