Title: Advanced ASL Legal Series: Small Claims Court – How It Really Works
Film Description
Small claims court is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — legal settings Deaf people encounter. This in-depth ASL training film explains how small claims court truly works from beginning to end, using a clear, structured teaching approach designed for real understanding, not surface knowledge. Viewers learn how cases start, what happens in court, how judges decide outcomes, and what legal options exist afterward — all explained in accessible, real-world ASL.
