Juvenile Court Clerk
The Juvenile Clerk is the custodian for records that include juvenile CHIPS, delinquency, JIPS, juvenile guardianships and termination of parental rights matters and ensures compliance with all statutory requirements under chapters 48 and 938 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The juvenile clerk records all documents and proceedings and manages all files under these chapters. Juvenile records are kept confidential and are therefore closed files.
