E.D. Wis. General L. R. 1
Scope and Purpose of Rules
The General Rules set forth in Part A govern both civil and criminal
proceedings in this District. The rules set forth in Part B govern civil proceedings in
this District. The rules set forth in Part C govern criminal and petty offense
proceedings in this District.
In these rules the use of the term “Court” is meant to include both the district
judge and the magistrate judge. Similarly the use of term “judge” without specifying
“district” or “magistrate” is meant to include both.
Compliance with the rules is expected. However, the rules are intended to be
enforced primarily upon the Court’s own initiative, and the filing of motions alleging
noncompliance with a rule may be reserved for egregious cases.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
