Small claims court is a court where laypersons can sue without the need to hire an attorney. In fact, no lawyers are allowed in small claims court unless they are being sued.

Small claims courts are for the recovery of money only--small claims courts cannot order another party to do something or provide any other relief. Small claims courts have jurisdictional limits (the max you can sue for) ranging from $2,500-$7,000+ depending on your state, so check with your local court for details. *Note: Only a few states bar attorneys from small claims courts. Many allow and encourage litigants to consult with or hire counsel.

Who represents me in small claims court?
In small claims court you don't have to have an attorney or legal aid, you can represent yourself, that is one of the reasons for small claims courts. But if you feel like it could total to the max allowed by your state, and that is above and beyond your means, you might want to check into retaining an attorney ( some will help for a percentage of the winnings, if you win) and if you can't afford to hire your own, the local Legal Aid office might be able to help you. I'm not real sure about their rules concerning small claims assitance, but it never hurts to ask and alot of the time they can help just by answering some questions over the phone.

Who pays the judgments awarded on television shows like judge david young?
Each party is paid a fee for appearing on the show. The judgments are paid by the show. These "court" shows are chosen from small claims court proceedings. The max amount you can win is the small claims court limit in the jurisdiction where the parties reside. When you appear on the show, you are agree to remove your case from your local court and submit your case to the ruling of the celebrity "judge". It is really a binding arbitration and the "litigants" get a free vacation.
