The Standard of Pleading in the Bluegrass State
The Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure (CR) are the “Bible” for any pro se litigant in the Commonwealth. Kentucky maintains a strict distinction between District Court (claims under $5,000) and Circuit Court (claims over $5,000). Mistakes in venue or jurisdictional amounts can lead to your case being transferred or dismissed with costs.
