The statutory text

Verbatim from the public record. The law itself is a government work — always confirm the current version on the official source before you rely on it.

(a) When an action is required to enforce a lien provided for in this chapter and the action falls within the monetary jurisdiction of the district court, the action shall be started in the district court in the judicial district in which venue lies. An action that exceeds the monetary jurisdiction of the district court shall be started in the superior court in the judicial district in which venue lies. The procedure, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, is the same as in the trial of an action to secure property to hold it for the satisfaction of a lien against it. (b) In an action to enforce a lien, the court shall allow as part of the costs all money paid for drawing the lien and for filing and recording the lien claim, and a reasonable attorney fee for the foreclosure of the lien. (c) An action to enforce a lien created by AS 34.35.005 — 34.35.425 has preference upon the calendar of civil actions before the court and shall be tried without unnecessary delay.
