You must agree. The cases on Judge Judy are real, and Sheindlin operates according to the principles of the American legal system. She conducts her court in a manner similar to U.S. appellate courts and many international courts, taking on a more inquisitorial fashion. There are no lawyers present and participants defend themselves, which is standard in a small claims court. The people who appear on her show sign a waiver agreeing that arbitration in her court is final and cannot be pursued elsewhere unless she dismisses the case without prejudice. The award for each judgement is paid by the producers of the show from a fund reserved for each case. The remainder of the fund is split between the parties for a particular case From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Judy
