Commercial Litigation Laws in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin commercial litigation proceeds in the Circuit Courts of the appropriate county, with appeals to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and discretionary review by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Wisconsin does not have a specialized business court. The U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Wisconsin are active federal commercial venues. Wisconsin's Western District (Madison) is known for one of the fastest civil dockets in the nation ("the Rocket Docket"). Written-contract claims are subject to a 6-year limitation (Wis. Stat. § 893.43); UCC sales claims, 6 years under Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. § 402.725 sets 6-year SOL, varying from the standard 4-year UCC).
