The Wisconsin Court System, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court, administers the state’s judiciary across municipal, circuit, appellate, and supreme levels from its base in Madison, Wisconsin. It comprises numerous municipal courts and judges, with Milwaukee hosting the largest municipal court and three full-time municipal judges, and Madison hosting the other full-time municipal court; the municipal tier includes 237 courts and 240 municipal judges. The circuit courts have functioned as a single-level trial court since 1978, with 249 circuit judges across 72 counties elected countywide to six-year terms in non-partisan elections. The Court of Appeals, created in 1978, handles a largely mandatory docket with 16 judges in four districts who are elected district-wide to six-year terms. The Supreme Court, which serves as the court of last resort with seven justices, reviews about 1,000 petitions per year and accepts roughly 100 to 120; the system has pursued modernization through an eFiling pilot program launched in 2021.
