Sauk County Courts are going paperless and encourage e-Filings in civil, family, paternity and small claims cases.

Sauk County Clerk of Circuit Court, Vicki Meister announces that beginning January 4, 2016, Sauk County Courts will be paperless in the above case types.  This means that hard files will no longer be available for review for new cases filed 1-4-2016 forward.  If you need to review a file for a specific document you will need to use the public access terminals in our Document Center.  From the terminals you can also request copies of documents for purchase.

If you are a party in a civil, family, paternity or small claims action, and register for E-filing, you have access to all documents in that particular case 24 hours a day online.

The E-filing option is encouraged to be accessed by all court users including attorneys and individuals not represented by an attorney.   Four advantages to e-Filing are:

1. Access to court system and documents 24 hours a day
2. Time and cost savings (no time away from work and postage savings)
3. Low cost to participate – a minimal fee of $5.00 per case
4. Filers simply access http://www.wicourts.gov, register online and you are ready to begin to file cases- no special software is needed for filers
