This courtroom series stars former family court judge Judy Sheindlin. Each episode finds Judge Judy presiding over real small-claims cases inside a televised courtroom. Her no-nonsense, wisecracking approach has been unsuccessfully copied by other TV court judges.

A cyclist and an uninsured motorist fight over $30,000 in medical bills; two Siberian huskies are accused of killing 75 chickens; a woman sues her former landlord for money she put down on a room.

The judge advises a defendant to stop giving her funny looks; a driving lesson between two commune dwellers ends with a crash into a tree and a lawsuit.

A woman says a dog's owners beat her up after she pepper-sprayed them.

After a dog is run over by a truck on an icy road, neighbors feud over liability; despite video evidence, a driver denies being responsible for damages from a parking-lot accident.
