Appeals Court

In the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, docketing, in the sense of providing "a brief identifying statement," refers to a Docketing Statement. This is a form that must accompany appeals for all eligible cases and must be submitted to the Wisconsin Court of Appeal under Wisconsin Statute 809.17. According to the Court, "The Docketing Statement is the tool by which the Court and the parties determine if the resolution of an appeal can be shortened."
