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 tenant sues landlords for damages after being forced to leave her home because of repeated gas leaks; former friends clash over vandalism and stun-gun use.

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 young man tried to palm off a phony smog certificate when she purchased a car from him; a party-bus driver ejects a young girl after an altercation, saying she damaged the bus; ex-friends feud over a video-game console.
