Court Case Search
The primary purpose of this site is to provide public access to those records of the circuit courts of Wisconsin in the Circuit Court Automation Program (CCAP) which are open to public view under Wisconsin's Open Records law, sections 19.31-19.39, Wisconsin Statutes. Records that are not open to public inspection by statute are not contained on this website.
The site also facilitates efficiently and effectively handling requests for information from the circuit courts by the general public, attorneys, abstractors, law enforcement, credit agencies and others.
Note: WCCA is not the official Judgment and Lien Docket. The official Judgment and Lien Docket is located in each county's Clerk of Circuit Court Office.
