Synopsis
And the verdict is: uncontrollable laughter.
Join the (Dis)Honorable Judge Dom Irrera in this send-up of court TV, as some of America's top comedians robe up to defend real people in real-life small-claims disputes.
Every episode is completely unscripted, utterly unpredictable and totally hilarious as these "jesters of justice" face off in the highest (or perhaps the lowest) court in the land.
The plaintiffs and defendants are regular people with actual small claims court cases; however, the show has no legal standing and is meant for entertainment purposes only.
Check out the likes of Jon Lovitz, Jamie Kennedy, Kevin Pollak and Victoria Jackson whooping and spoofing it up to the hilt. Naturally, the rulings are for entertainment purposes only, but many of them turn out to be surprisingly just...
The half-hour, unscripted series is executive produced by The Laugh Factory and True Entertainment, an Endemol Company.
