Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I loaned someone $10,000 using a written loan agreement in California. If the amount is too large for small claims how do I sue for repayment of the loan?

You could file a lawsuit in small claims court for up to $7,500, and waive the remaining $2,500, or you can file a limited jurisdiction superior court case for up to $25,000. You could find the civil complaint-contract and causes of action for breach of contract and common counts at your local courthouse or at the Judicial Council website: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/ .
