Circuit Court cases, based on CCAP (consolidated Court Automation Programs) case management system, are online at the WCCA (Wisconsin Circuit Court Access) website under the Director of State Courts. Not all courts use CCAP for all cases, started at the same times, or converted all old records. Converted records may contain less information. WSCCA (Wisconsin Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals) have a separate Case Access System that includes pending and current cases, opinions, and appeals dating to 1993.
