Abstract:

Legal files of civil and criminal cases appealed from the Milwaukee County Circuit Court to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. After deciding the case, the Supreme Court returned the case files to the court of origin, the Milwaukee Circuit Court. The files contain materials used in the Circuit Court trials, including affidavits; appeals; complaints; orders; transcripts of hearings and trials; and other legal documents. Only a few files include a copy of the Supreme Court's decision, and some include evidence presented at the trials. Most of the cases date from the 1950s and 1960s.
