Why We Built This Site
Vernon County court information comes through several distinct custodians. Sheila Olson, the Clerk of Circuit Court, keeps the county circuit file and handles certified copies. Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, or WCCA, shows public circuit case information and case events. A municipal clerk keeps an ordinance or citation docket, while appeals use the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Case Access system, or WSCCA. The pages here organize those official routes, request steps, case-number clues, and office contacts without treating separate systems as one record.
What You Will Find Here
- Docket guides: how criminal dockets and civil dockets are searched and read in Vernon County
- Court dates and settings: how to read the court calendar and confirm a hearing date or setting
- Case lookups: how to run a case search by party name or case number through the statewide portal
- Record requests: how court records and certified copies are requested from the clerk of court
For the official Vernon circuit file, the record office is Sheila Olson’s Clerk of Circuit Court office at 400 Courthouse Square, Suite 115, Viroqua, WI 54665. The office phone is 608-637-5340, with public hours Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site, not a Wisconsin court office or state agency. The official record remains with the court or clerk that has custody. Those limits mean we cannot:
- We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
- We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
- We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
- We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or setting listed on this site is current right now
For a Vernon circuit case, only the Clerk of Circuit Court or the court that heard it can issue an official or certified docket or record. A WCCA printout is not a certified copy.

Some pages contain search boxes supplied by outside providers. Those providers operate their own services, set their own prices, and control their results. A paid signup may generate a referral fee that supports the resource. The provider, rather than the Vernon County court system, controls its service and output.
