Real People. Real Stories. Real Judgment.
Just so the record is clear: Judge Dan is a television entertainment show. Dan is a host and personality, not a licensed judge or attorney, and nothing here is a real legal proceeding or legal advice. Verdicts are for entertainment only.
One host, three very different rooms. Pick the court that fits your story — each one has its own format, tone, and kind of case.
Two friends, one grudge, and a decade of receipts. The lighthearted room where petty debts and broken promises finally get settled.
The high-stakes room. Partners face each other to air accusations, confront the evidence, and hear a verdict on where the trust broke.
The people's room. Bring your "am I the one in the wrong?" dilemma and let the audience vote alongside Judge Dan's ruling.
Applying is free. If your case is a fit, our team reaches out to walk you through everything before you ever step in front of a camera.
Tell us who's involved and what happened. Pick the court that fits — Friends, Cheaters, or Public Opinion — and give us the short version of your story.
A producer reviews your submission and reaches out if it's a match. We confirm details, coordinate with all parties, and schedule your taping.
Present your side, hear the other, and get Judge Dan's ruling. Whether it's closure or bragging rights, you'll finally have a verdict on the record.
Got a dispute that deserves a verdict? Fill out the case file and our casting team will review it. There's no cost to apply, and applying doesn't guarantee a spot — but every great episode starts right here.
Your file is on the docket. If it's a fit, a producer will reach out by email. Thanks for bringing your story to Judge Dan.
