What is the judgment and lien docket?
The clerk of circuit court for each county is responsible for maintaining a judgment and lien docket for that county. The judgment and lien docket may consist of several sources: (a) In most counties, recent records are maintained electronically by entry into the CCAP case management system. Current filings may be viewed on public access terminals located in the office of the clerk of circuit court. Some clerks also make entries into a paper docket kept in the clerk’s office. (b) Older records are contained in books and card files that predated implementation of the CCAP system. These older sources are kept only in the clerk’s office for that county. (c) The WCCA website usually displays new judgments and liens within a few minutes of the time they are entered in the judgment and lien docket by the clerk of court. However, WCCA cannot guarantee that website information is completely current for purposes of the judgment and lien docket, due to occasional delays in uploading information
