They edit the heck out of it (all the good stuff) and you completely lose the real meat of the cases. Our case was about Red Sox play off tickets that my boss decided not to buy, the ticket agents SOLD HIS tickets because the ones they brought to court were for a different game!!

[@dr.chungusphd108]

Money.

[@lizfletcher7709]

The production company pays the settlement, which is technically a binding arbitration agreement. The winner of the “settlement” would be required to pay the tax on the income. The production company had a cap on how much paid to plaintiff if they won. The respondent, or defendant would be paid an appearance fee. When I was approached by the production company for Judge Judy, the cap was less than my small claims case. I would have had to pay the tax on that and the defendant would walk away with a smile and appearance fee. Uh, hard nope!

Between this and judge judy, I like Judge Judy better as a judge. Judge Judy doesn't let her emotions get out of control and sticks with the facts and subject at hand regardless of who she's dealing with whereas I've seen Judge Milian get all wound up and firey when she deals with smug idiots and tends to get sidetracked when something appeals to her emotions. I get more of a talk-showey all-about-entertainment vibe with Milian. I get more of a true no-nonsense courtroom vibe with JJ.

I was in an episode of Hot Bench in 2017. Tenant was suing me in a court in Southern California. I got a call from a producer telling me that through the freedom of information act they got a hold of the case and what they offered me is this; the case gets dropped legally from record, meaning it doesn't show up at all. Now, he was suing me for $350 and she said they'd pay that to the guy and they'd compensate me for my time at the rate of $500. I said no. We kept going back and forth so we settled on $800 plus transportation from my home to the studios which are in downtown Los Angeles adjacent to the Netflix studios. All in all, I was there for 2 1/2 hours. Lost the case but it was an interesting experience. They don't tell you the air date. I spoke with the guy who was suing me and he told me all he got was $350 and a meal voucher.oh and I forgot to mention, they tell you not to disclose what the verdict is or talk about it or share pics on social media or any other sources or they'll sue you.

A sandwich requires a flat or flattened main ingredient. Hot dogs are not flat, therefore a hot dog in a bun is not a sandwich. Cut it into flat strips a laid side by side between two slices of bread, not a bun, THEN a hot dog will be a sandwich.

[@Kylefassbinderful]

I was sued in small claims court one time and I won most likely because the plaintiff didn’t come prepared with any documents or pictures. When you sue somebody, the burden of proof is on you. All I had to do was show up and present my documents. The judge ruled outside of the court, and I got my ruling via mail. I obviously wish I was never sued in the first place, but I learned a lot from it, and I feel a whole lot more confident about how to handle myself when it comes to the courts. I don’t hate the person who sued me and I don’t go around trash talking them either.

[@merendobereglidditz9304]

A lot of defendants aren't all that disappointed after losing the case because the show pays the judgement and they get a free trip to L.A. or wherever, and a couple hundred bucks for appearing. Lady on PC actually said, I win anyway because... and the rest was cut. I met one of Judge Mathis's producers who told me they would pay up to $500 to the losing litigant depending on how juicy the case was. Judge Shienlan turned the tables on a losing defendant by threatening to take away his return plane ticket and have him kicked out of his hotel if he didn't provide some information.

[@lmss3309]

Yes. If money is more important than your reputation and showing it on nation tv , you win anyway but I don’t think anyone would humiliate themselves on to tv just for $500 unless it is scripted.
