Yes, the Litigants on court shows like The Peoples Court are paid for their appearance.

How much do litigants get paid on television court shows?
I would really like to see the answer to this question. I have seen it posed several times in different places, but there are no answers. My guess is that part of the papers signed by the litigants and participants include not divulging what the payment is. I also guess that since they take these cases from ones filed in actual small claims courts from across the county, it can not be so much that anyone makes money. If it was a "money maker," the court systems would be flooded with even more frivolous lawsuits and I'll bet they would put a stop to it. (or I would hope presume would have enough clout to stop it!) The best way to know would be if someone would actually post who has been on any of these shows, but of course, maybe they can't say.
