Explanation:

Small claim courts are small courts with limited jurisdiction to hear cases between two private litigants who are civilians. There are other judicial functions that may be bestowed upon small claim courts and hence they have different names in varying jurisdictions. In some areas they may call it magistrate court, while some areas may call it county court. Many states do not permit representation by a lawyer in small case courts. Because one thing these courts are known for is inexpensiveness.
