Get Your Hands Out Of Your Pockets & Stand Up Straight
Scott,
When I read your original post and similar posts in the For Sale/Want To Buy section, I suggest Judge Judy. People read my reply, laugh, and move on to the next post. But, I'm most serious when I make that suggestion.
Besides a Free trip to California, you get Free advertising on TV as an Instructor and if/when you win, the defendant doesn't have to come up with the money awarded. The SHOW pays you off. You also receive $100 'appearance fee'.
Check this out:
Either people will submit cases to the show via their website, by the show's number, or producers will research court files from all over the country, to find cases that they think will be appropriate and entertaining for the show.
People who work for the show, call both parties and ask them a couple questions about their case, to make sure it's suitable for Judge Judy. If the parties agree to be on the show and sign a waiver, agreeing that arbitration in Sheindlin's court is final, and cannot be pursued elsewhere, unless she dismisses the lawsuit without prejudice, their case will air on Judge Judy. The award limit on Judge Judy, as on most syndi-court shows and most small claims courts in U.S. states, is $5,000. The award for each judgment is paid by the producers of the show, from a fund reserved for each case. About 40 percent of the cases are money judgments, while 60 percent are dismissed.
Both the plaintiff and the defendant receive $100 for their appearance, paid to them by the show as well. In addition to that, it's a free all expense paid vacation for litigants and any of their witnesses that tag along, as the show pays for their flight out to Los Angeles, California, as well as their stay at a hotel. It's a no-lose situation for both litigants, with the exception of possible public humiliation administered by Judge Judy. If there's an exchange of property, Ms. Sheindlin signs an order and a sheriff or marshal sees to it that that property is exchanged. There are no lawyers present and participants defend themselves on Judge Judy, as is standard in a small claims court. Sheindlin sees only a half-page complaint and a defense response prior to the taping of the cases, sometimes only moments before.
