Petitioners may also use the portal to prepare forms without creating an account. The portal is currently available for domestic abuse and harassment temporary restraining order petitions.

Can a 10-year-old charged with murder receive a fair hearing without the court weighing the unique characteristics of youth? That's the question before the Wisconsin Supreme Court in State v. Mann-Tate – a case with constitutional stakes that could reach far beyond Wisconsin. ✨Story in the comments.👇 The case centers on the reverse waiver statute, which allows a juvenile charged in adult court to seek transfer back to juvenile court. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals reversed the circuit court's denial, finding the statute violated due process by failing to account for how youth impacts the seriousness of an offense. Now the Supreme Court must decide. Nationally recognized advocate Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative is arguing for the defendant, drawing on landmark U.S. Supreme Court precedents that transformed Eighth Amendment protections for juvenile offenders. Five justices signaled concern that younger defendants face an especially steep burden under the current statute. The outcome could reshape how Wisconsin courts conduct reverse waiver hearings. #wisconsinlawyer #wisconsinlaw #wisbar #scowis
