How do I obtain judicial review of an adverse decision?
Judicial review of a revocation decision may be obtained by Writ of Certiorari in the county in which the client was last convicted of an offense for which he or she was on supervision. See Wis. Stats. 801.50(5). Any action seeking a remedy available by Certiorari made on behalf of a prisoner as that term is used in Wis. Stats. 801.02(7) must be commenced within 45 days of the decision to be reviewed. See Wis. Stats. 893.735.
