The People's Court has a $500.00 fund for each case. For settlements less than $500, they pay the settlement, then split the remainder between the litigants. For cases greater than $500, they pay the settlement and give the loser $25.00. Either way, neither party can lose.

∙ 10y agoI was on Judge Judy in 2005, and what happens is, they paid me $500.00 to appear on show, plus if you lose your case, the show pays your settlement. So for me, I lost, they paid the $1000 bail I was fighting, plus I got $500.00 dollars. It was cool but I was scared of her yelling at me.

I was on Judge Judy in 2009. Taping took half of the day, and they treated you well while waiting. They edited much of the court proceeding, but was all still the way it happened. Nothing was edited to make it seem more than what it was.
I was paid $100 to just show up. I was the defendent. Not sure how much the plaintiff received. I lost the show, and that was paid for by the producers. My airfare to LA as well as hotel was paid for by the show. The bailiff is not as mean as he seems on the show. He was very easy to talk to, and took the time to meet everyone in the courtroom.
The audience that appears on tv is paid as well. There is an alternate audience that viewers cannot see that sit behind a glass wall, off to the right of the set if you are looking at the plaintiff/defendant. That's why there is never a camera angle that views to that side.
That audience is not paid, and have to obtain tickets well in advance. Judge Judy is not present after tapings for Autographs or pictures.

She was a judge, but she retired. She is now a arbitrator, deciding legal cases that otherwise might have been settled in Civil Court. Other than returning misappropriated property, litigants on her TV show are not legally responsible for monetary awards she orders, as these are paid by the show.

Are litigants on shows like The Peoples Court etc compensated and how?
Yes, the Litigants on court shows like The Peoples Court are paid for their appearance. In the ending credits of the show there is usually a message reading some like "Both the plaintiff and the defendant have been paid from a fund for their appearance. The amount, if any, awarded in the case, is deducted from this fund, and the remainder is divided equally between both litigants. The amount of the fund is dependent on the size of the judgement." In advance of the taping the litigants are given a packet of information detailing all of this.
