Message from the Chief Justice

Chief Justice Jill J. Karofsky

Welcome to the website of the Wisconsin Court System. Whether you are here to find information, understand a process, or learn more about how our courts serve the people of our state and the role of the judicial branch in our democracy, I appreciate your interest.

For nearly two centuries, our courts have stood as a cornerstone of justice in Wisconsin. That commitment continues every day in courtrooms large and small, in high-profile cases that attract public attention and in quieter moments where someone finds fairness, resolution, or a sense of being heard. As I begin my service as Chief Justice, I am committed to ensuring that every person who interacts with our courts is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.
