Outside Philadelphia, small claims (civil cases up to $12,000) are heard by Magisterial District Courts; most counties have several, each covering specific municipalities. File at the one for where the defendant lives or does business, where the problem happened, or where the contract was made. In Philadelphia, file in person at Philadelphia Municipal Court, 1339 Chestnut Street.
