Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Questions re procedure, venue, in tort suits
Hello,

I am considering bringing suit for intentional/negligent infliction of emotional distress and defamation in small claims court, because it is against an individual and because I wish to level the playing field. (her team of several attornies vs. me in pro per.)

Is this an uncommon approach? Do small claims judges expect to hear only fairly clear-cut disagreements over money? Most importantly, as long as the jurisdiction is correct, is this an acceptible venue for this kind of case?

The standard EZ small claims form doesn't seem to fit, so I am using a standard complaint form. Is this OK?

I like your strategy. Use the small claims form and make it fit (preferred), or else put "see attachment" and use an additional page.
