Who will hear my case ?
Cases are usually heard by a District Judge. However, if the case is complex it can be referred to a higher judge known as a Circuit Judge.
In some cases if a special Arbitrator is needed the court has the power to use an outside Arbitrator, but this will only be done if you and your opponent agree.
