- October 22, 2021
Judge Mathis season 23 episode 35, titled "Episode 35," features cases of people seeking justice in matters related to money and relationships. As usual, Judge Mathis presides over these cases with his brand of justice that often includes stern advice to those who appear before him.
In the first case, a woman takes her ex-boyfriend to court for the return of a car she loaned him. The woman claims that the man initially agreed to pay her back for the car but never did, leaving her without the car and without the money she could have earned from selling it. The ex-boyfriend contends that the woman gave him the car as a gift and that he does not owe her any money. Judge Mathis listens to both sides and tries to get to the bottom of what actually happened between the two.
Next, a woman sues her brother for unpaid loans. She claims that she lent him money to help with a business venture but he never paid her back. The brother argues that he did repay her for some of the loans but that he encountered financial difficulties and was not able to repay her in full. Judge Mathis tries to determine whether the brother is telling the truth and whether there is any way to resolve the dispute amicably.
In the third case, a man takes his former friend to court for damaging his car. The man says that his friend drunkenly crashed his car into a tree and did not pay for the repairs. The friend admits that he caused the damage but claims that he offered to pay for the repairs and that the man refused to let him do so. Judge Mathis tries to determine whether the friend's offer was genuine and whether the man had any reason to refuse it.
Finally, a woman sues her ex-boyfriend for unpaid rent and utilities. She claims that he lived with her for several months but did not contribute to the household expenses as promised. The ex-boyfriend argues that he did pay his share of the expenses but that the woman mismanaged the money. Judge Mathis listens to both sides and tries to get a clear picture of what happened between the two.
Throughout the episode, Judge Mathis dispenses his trademark advice to the litigants, encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions and to resolve their disputes peacefully. He provides a good example of how a courtroom can be a place of healing and resolution, rather than just a battleground for warring parties. With his keen insights and compassionate approach, Judge Mathis shows that justice doesn't have to be harsh or impersonal but can be a way of helping people rebuild their lives and relationships.
