It's a staged reality.

To get on that type of show both the plaintiff and defendant have to agree to drop their civil case and allow themselves to be bound by the shows (as opposed to an offical state or federal) judges decision.

It's actually a pretty good deal from what I read as the show pays the litigants for their participation and the judgement (either way) is taken from that so nobody really looses.
