Exceptions and details
Pennsylvania has no separately named small claims court: civil claims up to $12,000 (exclusive of interest and costs) are heard by magisterial district judges (42 Pa.C.S. § 1515(a)(3)) and, in Philadelphia, by the Philadelphia Municipal Court (42 Pa.C.S. § 1123(a)(4)), same $12,000 limit. Claims against Commonwealth parties excluded. Plaintiffs may waive the excess to fit under the limit. Limit unchanged since 2011 (Act 114 of 2010); a July 2026 amendment to § 1515 (Act 36) touched only (a)(5.1), not the civil limit.
Same 2-year period for wrongful death and for injury founded on negligent conduct (§ 5524(7)). Asbestos claims run from diagnosis/discovery (§ 5524(8)).
Pennsylvania has no mandatory/unified state bar; the PBA is the voluntary statewide bar. Its LRS operates in 47 of 67 counties; other counties (e.g., Philadelphia, Allegheny) are served by county bar referral services.
