United States District Court For The Eastern District Of Wisconsin

The counties are: Brown, Calumet, Dodge, Door, Florence, Fond du Lac, Forest, Green Lake, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Langlade, Manitowoc, Marinette, Marquette, Menominee, Milwaukee, Oconto, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Shawano, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha, Waupaca, Waushara, and Winnebago counties.
Appeals from the Eastern District of Wisconsin are taken to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (except for patent claims and claims against the U.S. government under the Tucker Act, which are appealed to the Federal Circuit).
The main courthouse is in Milwaukee. In 2001 Congress approved a new federal judgeship to serve Green Bay. The court meets in temporary facilities near the Brown County Courthouse until a permanent federal courthouse is constructed.
Jim Santelle took over as U.S. Attorney after he was sworn in on January 4, 2009, after having been appointed by President Barack Obama to the position.
