About the District

Western District of Wisconsin — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin covers the western half of the state, with courthouse locations in Madison (the primary courthouse, James E. Doyle United States Courthouse), Eau Claire, and La Crosse. W.D. Wis. sits within the Seventh Circuit and serves a region that includes Madison (the state capital and home to the University of Wisconsin), the Driftless Area river communities along the Mississippi at La Crosse and Prairie du Chien, and the Chippewa Valley communities of Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The district also covers significant Tribal land jurisdiction, including the Bad River Band, Lac du Flambeau Band, and other federally recognized Ojibwe nations of northern Wisconsin.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (methamphetamine is especially prevalent in the rural western Wisconsin counties and generates a consistent volume of federal prosecutions), firearms offenses, financial fraud, child exploitation, and crimes on Tribal reservations. The I-90/I-94 corridor through Madison connects Chicago to the Twin Cities and serves as a transit route for drug trafficking organizations; W.D. Wis. prosecution of cases arising from this corridor is a recurring feature of the district's docket. The university setting in Madison generates occasional federal financial fraud and computer crime matters. CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Wis. may be appointed in any of the three courthouse cities. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Wis. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool for western Wisconsin federal panel attorneys — converting timesheets from Madison, Eau Claire, and La Crosse to eVoucher-ready files without manual service code entry.
