The Credit River Decision was decided by a Justice of the Peace in Minnesota.



Each State is different. You should check your Constitution under Judciary and also search on the web for the court system in your state.



Some states that have Justice courts have limitations on the amounts and they operate more like a small claims.



I have seen in my travels on the net, references to Common Law Courts in some areas. They don't have one here in Mississippi so I didn't pursue but I think Pennsylvania has Common Law Court.



You have a right to demand Common Law Docket and Common Law Trial by Jury pursuant to the Constitution Amendment VII. Each state consitution should also have

a section for this as well.
