FRIENDS COURT
Two friends on each side. A jury of your peers — picked by the people who actually know you — and Judge Dan holding the deciding vote. Bring the dispute that's been dividing your circle and let the room settle it for good.
Just so the record is clear: Friends Court is a television entertainment show. Judge Dan is a host and personality, not a licensed judge or attorney, the jury is made up of friends, and verdicts are for entertainment only — not real legal rulings.
A Jury Of Your Friends
Friends Court flips the courtroom on its head. There's no panel of strangers — each side brings two friends to serve on the jury. Four friends, one dispute, and Judge Dan as the tie-breaker when the vote is split.
Two Friends
The person bringing the case picks two friends to sit on the jury and argue their corner.
Judge Dan

Cases We Love To Hear
Friends Court handles the everyday disputes that wreck friendships — the money, the stuff, and the living situations that never got sorted out.
Loaned Money
You spotted them rent, covered the tab, or fronted the deposit — and the payback never came. Time to collect on the record.
Missing Property
Your tools, your console, your car that came back with a dent. Someone borrowed it and it's still gone. Let the jury decide who owes what.
Roommate Eviction
They stopped paying, overstayed the couch, or won't move out. Settle who's responsible for the lease, the mess, and the exit.
The Unpaid Bet
A wager was made, a wager was lost, and nobody paid up. Judge Dan reads the terms into the record and enforces the stakes.
Shared Costs Gone Wrong
The trip, the group gift, the split bill nobody squared up. Untangle who actually owes who once and for all.
Broken Promises
The favor never returned, the plan they bailed on, the thing they swore they'd handle. Put the broken deal to a vote.
