Each county has a state District Court, and most hold court in several towns (departments), each with its own clerk; Mississippi and Sebastian counties are split into two districts. File in the county where a defendant lives, where the contract was made or to be performed, or where the injury or damage happened, at the department for that town or the county seat.
