    Wisconsin Lawyer October 2000: Listing Indicates New, Revised Mandatory Court Forms

    THE MANDATORY USE OF standard court forms in circuit court became effective Jan. 1, 2000 for criminal and juvenile cases, and July 1, 2000 for civil cases.

    Using the Online Index to the State's Standard Court Forms

    For a complete listing of the standard mandated forms, attorneys should refer to the state's online indexes on the Circuit Court Forms page at www.courts.state.wi.us/circuit/search_forms.html. From that page, you can conduct a forms conceptual search or view two listings of forms. But most important, that page provides access to three important indexes:

    1) General, Criminal, Civil, Traffic, Small Claims, Family Forms Index;

    2) Juvenile Forms Index; and

    3) Probate Forms Index.

    Click on any index to see a list of the standard, mandated forms. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader® to view the indexes and forms.

    The indexes are arranged in a table format with columns for the form number, revision date, statute(s), name of form, and a brief description of the form. Newly adopted forms are identified as "new" in the revision date column of the forms indexes. If a form has been revised, its revision date is included in this column. The Judicial Conference's Forms Committee will continue to develop new forms and revise the old ones based upon user input, changes in the law, and the need for format modification. To keep current, users should periodically visit the forms indexes online.
