Municipal Court Launches Video-Conference Hearings
As the COVID-19 virus continues to pose a threat, the Court must take steps to enable normalization of Court functions while protecting both its workforce and the public it serves. Implementation of hearings via video-conference provides the means of resuming court operations in a manner that is as efficient and safe as possible. The Court will launch this new hearing process on Monday, July 6, 2020.
Members of the public with a scheduled hearing will be required to pre-register with the Court, to set a time for their video-conference hearing. A notice will be sent to defendants about 10 days in advance of their scheduled hearing date.
Defendants will be required to call 414-286-6600 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to schedule the hearing. This phone line is dedicated to answer registration calls only.
People who are unable to proceed via video-conference must still pre-register to appear in person. Safety protocols of the CDC guidelines for physical distancing will be maintained. All hearing sessions will be limited to no more than 10 people in the courtroom.
Anyone not currently scheduled for a hearing, should not call the hotline. For all other Court related information, the main information line is available: 414-286-3800.
Juvenile matters are on hold until further notice. Please note that the Court is unable to discuss juvenile matters by telephone. Written correspondence may be submitted via email at
[email protected] or via U.S. mail.

While driving, take it easy Milwaukee!
Please pay attention, look out for others and drive safely. The fine for inattentive driving is almost $200. But you can never pay the price of ending someone's life. And the life you save may be your own.
A yellow traffic light means Prepare to Stop. It does NOT mean Go Very Fast.
A red traffic light means STOP. Running a red light, which includes slowly driving through it, could result in a $175 fine. If you are cited twice in a year, it could result in a $213 fine.
Obeying traffic lights keeps everyone safe and is a more cost effective way to drive. Please drive safely and responsibly. The life you save may be your own.
If you are coming into downtown on I-94 from the west, the Kilbourn tunnel is closed for structural work until October of 2019. Getting in and out of the MacArthur Square parking structure from James Lovell Street will be delayed, as one lane is closed.
