Wisconsin Deadline to Appeal a Final Judgment or Order

In Wisconsin, the deadline to appeal a final judgment or order is 45 days. This time limit is established by Wis. Stat. § 808.04(1), which governs the appeal period in civil and criminal cases. The 45-day period begins on the date the judgment or order is entered on the court record, not when the parties receive notice. The statute provides specific exceptions and circumstances that can alter this deadline, such as motions that extend the appeal period. The official source at the link below contains the complete statutory text and any applicable qualifications. A worked example demonstrating how the 45-day deadline is calculated appears in the calculator section. For a result tailored to a particular case, the calculator can estimate the exact deadline.
