In Alaska, the District Court Civil Division processes small claims cases. A small claim in Alaska is a matter that does not exceed $10,000.00. This requirement is mandated by Alaska Statute Sec. 22.15.040<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

The Alaska court system created the Alaska Small Claims Handbook<\/a>, a guide to the small claims<\/a> process. The Alaska court system<\/a> website provides forms for filing and responding to small claims cases. The website also provides information about court locations.<\/p>\r\n
