AS YOU MAY KNOW, IN ADDITION TO
MY WORK AS TALK SHOW HOST, I
ALSO SERVE AS A TV JUDGE.
I HEAR CASES ALONG WITH MY
TRUSTY BAILIFF.
THESE ARE REAL CASES BROUGHT BY
REAL LITIGANTS IN SMALL CLAIMS
COURT WHO HAVE AGREED TO PUT
THEIR LEGAL FAITH IN THE ALWAYS
FAIR AND SENSIBLE HANDS OF JUDGE
JAMES.
>> THIS IS THE PLAINTIFF.
AMBER HARRISON.
SHE CLAIMS THE DEFENDANT ENTERED
INTO AN AGREEMENT TO PROMOTE HER
LINE OF WIGS BUT DID NOT FULFILL
HIS OBLIGATION.
SHE'S SUING FOR $3,400.
THIS IS THE DEFENDANT, DANTE
HALL.
HE MAINTAINS THE PLAINTIFF WAS
DISORGANIZED AND FELL BEHIND
SCHEDULE, WHICH PROHIBITED HIM
FROM CARRYING OUT HIS AGREED-ON
DUTIES.
IT'S THE CASE OF WEAVING THE
SCENE OF THE CRIME.
>> Guillermo: RAISE YOUR RIGHT
HAND.
>> WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS
IS REAL.
PARTICIPANTS ARE NOT ACTORS,
THEY'RE ACTUAL LITIGANTS ABOUT
IT A CASE PENDING IN CIVIL
COURT.
BOTH PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO DROP
THEIR CLAIMS TO HAVE THEIR CASE
DECIDED HERE BY JUDGE JAMES.

AN AGREEMENT TO ENGAGE AS BRAND
AMBASSADOR ON BEHALF OF YOUR
COMPANY, WICKED WEAVES, BUT DID
NOT FULFILL HIS OBLIGATION.

PREFER TATITI?
>> YOU CAN CALL ME TATITI.

TO FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATION.
