Small Claims Court offered at District Court - Cascade Division

To start a small claims case, the plaintiff must file the case either in the District Court division where the party being sued (the defendant) resides or, in the case of a traffic accident, in the District Court division where the accident occurred. A Notice of Small Claim form is provided by the court. The clerk will assist with this procedure, but the clerk is not allowed to give legal advice or to attempt to predict how a judge might rule in any given situation.
