In the first case, a woman sues her ex-boyfriend for damages to her car that he caused during a drunken argument.

As Judge Judy examines the evidence and listens to witness testimonies, she must determine who is telling the truth.

In the second case, a homeowner sues her landscaper for breach of contract and damages.
