Branch II of the Douglas County Circuit Court is one of two trial courts handling the caseload of Douglas County. It is presently presided over by Judge George L. Glonek who was appointed by the Governor to the bench on October 28, 2002 and subsequently elected in 2003, 2009 and 2015.

The two branches share the caseload according to a rotation plan approved by the judges. Large claims, civil actions, family law cases, and all forfeitures are divided equally between Branch I and Branch II. Case types that are divided equally between the judges include traffic, forfeitures, small claims, evictions, civil, family, adoption, criminal, and termination of parental rights.

Circuit Court Judges

Circuit court judges are elected by the citizens of the County and serve six-year terms. The powers of circuit court judges are the same throughout the State. Occasionally, the judges are assigned to handle cases in neighboring counties in their district, such as Ashland, Burnett, or Bayfield.
