As for most states, many forms specific to practicing in Wisconsin courts are available. Wisconsin statutes and the state court rules may specify what must be included in pleadings filed in court. Forms are often included in the rules volumes and are usually available on local or state court websites. The Wisconsin State Law Library also has a comprehensive list of Wisconsin-specific forms. Because state court forms are usually not as numerous or varied as federal or general forms, it may be necessary to combine portions of multiple forms for a specific issue. The form must comply with the court rules for the specific jurisdiction, however.
Commercial subscription databases such as Bloomberg Law, Lexis and Westlaw also contain court rules and can be checked for available forms. Access to these databases through this library is restricted to members of the Marquette University Law School community.
Additionally, the Milwaukee Justice Center also includes some free information about how to complete selected Wisconsin forms.
