Twenty thousand times each year, people from all walks of life come to the same place to settle disputes. Their disagreements are over serious issues, from unpaid neighborhood dues and home repairs to protective orders and evictions. But they come to one place to get resolved, where every citizen can bring a legal action, without having to hire a lawyer. It’s Allen County’s Small Claims Court, one of the busiest and most innovative courts of its kind anywhere. On this episode of INSession we’re talking about Small Claims Court – how it works, what litigants can accomplish there and how to be ready when your day in court arrives.
