THE MANDATORY USE OF standard court forms in circuit court became
effective Jan. 1, 2000 for criminal and juvenile cases, and July 1, 2000
for civil cases.
Using the Online Index to the State's Standard Court Forms
For a complete listing of the standard mandated forms, attorneys
should refer to the state's online indexes on the Circuit Court Forms
page at www.courts.state.wi.us/circuit/search_forms.html.
From that page, you can conduct a forms conceptual search or view two
listings of forms. But most important, that page provides access to
three important indexes:
1) General, Criminal, Civil, Traffic, Small Claims, Family Forms
Index;
2) Juvenile Forms Index; and
3) Probate Forms Index.
Click on any index to see a list of the standard, mandated forms. You
will need Adobe Acrobat Reader® to view the indexes and forms.
The indexes are arranged in a table format with columns for the form
number, revision date, statute(s), name of form, and a brief description
of the form. Newly adopted forms are identified as "new" in the revision
date column of the forms indexes. If a form has been revised, its
revision date is included in this column. The Judicial Conference's
Forms Committee will continue to develop new forms and revise the old
ones based upon user input, changes in the law, and the need for format
modification. To keep current, users should periodically visit the forms
indexes online.
