The Wisconsin Supreme Court
passed a rule requiring eFiling for civil, family, small claims, and paternity cases.
This rule (Wis. Stat. 801.18) will likely take effect July 1, 2016 and roll out in pilot counties that currently offer voluntary eFiling. With this rule eFiling will be required for attorneys and high-volume filing agents. Those who are not represented by an attorney and low-volume filing agents may use the system on a voluntary basis. There will be a fee of $20 per case, but this can be waived for indigent parties and governmental units.
