I think the $25,000 figure is probably related to the "price point" at which the defendant figures it cheaper to pay off than to spend a bunch of money for legal fees.

KRAMER: Oh I ah just came from a meeting with my lawyer.
JERRY: Oh yeah, how's that looking?
KRAMER: Oh I'll tell you how it's looking. My lawyer Jackie says if there is one pizza eater on that jury, I'm gonna be a rich man.
ELAINE: That's despicable. How does he know how all pizza eaters will vote? I'm a pizza eater. If I was on that jury I wouldn't give you a nickel Kramer.
KRAMER: Yeah, well you wouldn't be on that jury. He would have weeded you out.
JERRY: Frankly I'm surprised you're so litigious.
KRAMER: Oh I can be quite litigious.
YUM!
I can second that. I work for one of they're suppliers
The $25,000 is the minimum jurisdictional amount of the court rather than small claims or arbitration. The actual amount can be anything from there up, but all she needs to claim is $25,000.
