I always thought the TV show paid either party.
I understood that if max to win is $5000 then both parties get paid that. However if a party is judged against for $2000 then one party gets $7000 while the other $3000 for showing up on expenses paid trip to wherever they film it.
It's been my understanding that the participants are paid $5k (plus expenses) and any judgement awarded is paid from that.
judge judy is an interesting character . i asked my friend, who is a real judge in a big city, if all the talking down and scolding she does would really fly in a courtroom. He told me no way is that how its done. if she was a current judge there would be complaints lodged against her by attorneys and would be in hot water.
My cousin was on Judge Judy about 15 or so years ago. He was an idiot and got thrown out of the court room leaving my aunt standing there shaking her head. He obviously lost.

Wasn't long ago I lived near her. She certainly is a tough NY gal and she did well for herself. You wan't interesting seek out the many articles on her son when he was Putnam County DA. NY politics is hardcore like none other.

IDK how any of us on this forum could substantiate the overpaid portion. Can you even state what her pay was per contract? I suggest not. She negotiated her own pay and what someone agreed to pay her isn't something she should be bashed for. Arrogance? That one is up for personal interpretation.

Filmed in NYC. You get airline flight and room+board to attend, I'm sure of that.

When you're running a small business and have someone sue you for $5k, it's very appealing.

Judge Judy actually does behave EXACTLY like that in a real courtroom. She was covered by 60 minutes even before Judge Judy ever became a show and the same theatrics she performs on the screen were echos of her performance as a judge in the state of New York.
Check it out on Facebook sometimes. I'm no fan of her show but I respect her brutal honesty when it comes to the juvenile court system.

That's been my understanding as well; there's a $5000 pool of money which is split between the two people that appear. Judge Judy can only award up to $5000, which would leave one person with zero.

From the imgur photo posted above of the Judge Judy letter, it sounds like they pay only the plaintiff if the plaintiff wins. Pay travel and boarding for plaintiff/defendant/witnesses. If the defendant had a counter suit, then maybe they also pay up to $5000 for that. Letter doesn't mention anything about a counter suit. Judge Judy rarely both a plaintiff award and a defendant counter suit award.

Regardless of whatever is posted here, she and the tv network are laughing all the way to the bank.

I could do what she does for a whole lot less....so could many others. I do realize that she is an 'entertainer' and
should not be taken seriously. She recently gave her political opinions publicly which is very common now with
Hollywood types....Why do 'celebrities' think their opinions matter more than others?

Of course she is. That's a huge part of the appeal. Some of those idiots on the show deserve to be scolded!
