Wis JI-Children 100
Confidentiality: Preliminary Instruction
Because this case involves (a child) (children) and is being heard by the Children's
Court, these proceedings are confidential. The child(ren) and the family involved in these
proceedings have a statutory right to the protection of their identities. I caution you that any
person, including a juror, who discloses the identity of the child(ren) or the family is subject
to sanctions for contempt of court.
The bailiff will restrict access to the courtroom. These proceedings are closed to the
general public.
[If the child(ren) (is) (are) not expected to be in the courtroom, add: Under the
laws that govern this proceeding, I have excused the child(ren) from having to appear in
person.]

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.
