seniorjudge,
So basically, when I go, I should say "X happened while we driving down y road. Z agreed to pay for the damages. We have contacted him numerous times and have not received a response." and then shut up and wait for the judge to ask for evidence, etc? I hadn't really planned on saying "and I think so-and-so should happen". My understanding is simply that I present the facts as I see them, answer the judge honestly, comply with any requests for evidence and then let him/her do his/her job. The whole thing should take about 1/2 of the time it does on TV, right?
I'm really not interested in Judge Judy "justice" drama anyway.
