Welcome to WJI's Milwaukee County Municipal Courts page.

​Here you will find basic information about the 19 municipal courts in the county - where they are, website information, email links, and more. You will also find an electronic edition of the municipal court "Know Your Rights" card developed by WJI, ACLU of Wisconsin, Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee and Legal Action of Wisconsin.  The card was produced through grants from the Wisconsin Law Foundation and Greater Milwaukee Foundation.

Some of the courts' websites better than others – a few are very good and a few are pretty awful. If you can't find what you are looking for, call or email the court.

If you have a case in municipal court and are planning appear, please use common sense. If your driver's license is suspended, for example, do not drive to court. A few jurisdictions check license plates; some may ask how you got to court.  We will add information to this page as it becomes available.
