Kewaunee County Circuit Court, Wisconsin Filing Rules

The required notice to the court and media coordinator must be in writing, subject to the good-cause exception.

Written objections must be filed within five business days of service or mailing; failure to object waives objections, and the document is deemed signed unless objections are filed.

For indigency-based fee-waiver requests outside felony and misdemeanor proceedings, the specified petition, affidavit, and order must be completed; the presiding judge may waive these requirements in extraordinary circumstances if doing so will permit justice to be served.

When counsel submits a document for the court’s signature, counsel must simultaneously forward a copy to all other counsel and unrepresented parties unless counsel stipulates otherwise.

A continuance request must include an affidavit specifically stating the reason in writing and signed by all parties’ attorneys and their clients.

Court papers must be on substantial paper and include the assigned case number in the caption.

Counsel must advise the court in writing of future jury-trial engagements; the court generally avoids conflicting day-calendar settings but may make exceptions when circumstances warrant.

Direct fax filings to the clerk or register in probate and juvenile court clerk are accepted only if the stated equipment, location, page-limit, and fee conditions are met.

Unless the Scheduling Order provides otherwise, a summary judgment motion must be filed with the clerk and a copy provided to the judge.

A directly transmitted facsimile document may not exceed 15 pages, excluding the cover sheet.

Juvenile court records are confidential and may be disclosed only as allowed by statute and, where required, by court order.
