Municipal Criminal Court - Los Angeles, CA
Q: "Civil courts in California have divisions by dollar value" What is the dollar breakdown and where can I find this listed?
A: "The jurisdiction of a court is the authority to handle a case and involves the amount of the dispute. Small Claims Courts hear matters where the dollar amount in dispute does not exceed $5000. Limited Jurisdiction Courts hear matters where the dollar amount in dispute or value of the property does not exceed $25,000 and most Unlawful Detainer cases. General Jurisdiction Courts hear all other matters. "
