With much-loved Marilyn Milian as judge, The People’s Court has returned with the 23rd episode of this season. Based on the history of the show, This season could have almost 150 episodes, so it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing this show air for another year now.
The People’s court is one of the original arbitration-based shows, going as back as the 1980s. The series has been carried out by judges such as Joseph Wapner, Ed Koch, and Jerry Sheindlin. Jerry is married to Judy Sheindlin, famous for her own show “Judge Judy”.
The People’s Court features small claims, which are cases that revolve around money less than $5,000. The people who appear on the show are real and those who consent to publicize their case.
Season 26 first premiered in September 2022, and has featured a variety of cases from Stealing cars, Feud over Tiktok, and sisters dissing each other. It will be exciting to see what kind of case we will be presented with in the upcoming episodes.
The People’s Court: The way the show works
Not many people know this, but The People’s Court is not an actual court. Instead of that, it’s a place where Arbitration or settlement of disputes is done. This is accepted by courts and whatever may be the arbitration result, will be applicable through law.
Plaintiff is the person who has sued the other person for any amount but of course less than or equal to $5,000. The Defendant is the person being sued. They can be sued for money, emotional stress, property damage, and so on. Truth is, no one is going to pay from their pockets, even if the decision is for them to pay. Instead, in the earlier procedure of the show, both the defendant and the plaintiff get a suitable amount from the producers, and this is where the money will be deduced from.
Coming to the hearing, Judge Marilyn first reads the details of the case offscreen, and then enters the court where the Defendant and Plaintiff are already present and have sworn. She then listens to what both of them have to say and sees the evidence they present. The final decision could be in Favor of the plaintiff or the defendant. If Both of them present insufficient evidence or are equally in the wrong, the case will end up being dismissed.
