Wisconsin judicial system

"The basic powers and framework of the court system in Wisconsin were established by Article VII of the Wisconsin Constitution when Wisconsin became a state in 1848. At that time, judicial power was vested in a Supreme Court, circuit courts, courts of probate, and justices of the peace. Subject to certain limitations, the Legislature was granted power to establish inferior courts and municipal courts and determine jurisdiction." [1]
