Yes, litigants on court shows typically receive a nominal fee for their participation, which can vary depending on the show. Additionally, the show may cover the judgment amount awarded by the judge, meaning that if a litigant wins their case, they will receive the amount decided in court without having to pay out of pocket. However, they often forfeit the chance to pursue the case in a real court.

How much does judge gets paid on people's court?

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.
