Wisconsin Exhibit FAQs
How do I e-file exhibits in Wisconsin courts?
Wisconsin uses Wisconsin eFiling system across all 72 counties in 10 judicial districts. You must register for eFiling access at wicourts.gov before submitting documents. Exhibits must be in PDF format with a 25 MB file size limit per document. The Wisconsin eFiling system is standardized across all circuit courts.
What are Wisconsin's exhibit exchange deadlines?
Wisconsin exhibit exchange deadlines are set by the scheduling conference order per Wis. Stat. § 802.10 (Wisconsin Statutes Section 802.10), not by a statewide fixed deadline. The scheduling conference order will specify when exhibit lists must be filed at the final pre-trial conference and when exhibits must be exchanged. Each of Wisconsin's 10 judicial districts may have local variations.
What exhibit marking system does Wisconsin require?
Wisconsin courts use the P/D prefix system: plaintiffs mark exhibits as P-1, P-2, P-3, while defendants use D-1, D-2, D-3 per Wis. Stat. § 802.10. This system is standard across all 72 Wisconsin counties. Exhibits should be marked before the exchange deadline specified in your scheduling conference order and listed at the final pre-trial conference.
What is Milwaukee County Business Calendar?
Milwaukee County is Wisconsin's largest county and operates a specialized Business Calendar for complex commercial disputes. Cases involving business entities, commercial contracts, or complex litigation may qualify for this calendar. Business Calendar cases receive enhanced case management with stricter scheduling and exhibit requirements than general civil cases. Milwaukee County handles Wisconsin's most sophisticated commercial litigation.
Are there special considerations for Dane County government cases?
Yes. Dane County (Madison) is Wisconsin's state capital and handles significant government litigation including challenges to state statutes and administrative actions. Government cases often involve legislative history exhibits, administrative records, and expert policy analysis requiring specialized foundation. While exhibit marking follows standard Wis. Stat. § 802.10 rules, government cases may have unique evidentiary issues.
