TV Judges
When it comes to various disputes, you have your Plaintiffs and your Defendants. A lot of cases heard by judges can range from fairly simple to otherworldly outrageous. Some defendants even file countersuits against plaintiffs. Only one entity can settle matters- the judge. Or in some court shows, more than one judge. Once the gavel drops with one side being awarded the win (unless a case is dismissed), justice and resolution are served.
Let's talk TV judges! The entries are either the names of shows or the judges' names themselves. Let's begin with the one I mentioned in the intro.
Judge Judy.
^ from: (TV Guide) - Judge Judy. Toughest TV judge in history.
Judge Judith Sheindlin is the most no-nonsense judge ever. Over 25 years of her hit show, Judge Judy will get to the bottom of issues and not play around in determining who gets what settlement. It is not a good idea to speak when she speaks. Judge Judy has no problem getting into the minds of litigants and having a tell-it-like-it-is mentality.
^ Judge Judy kicks out 3 Witnesses!
Hot Bench.
Hot Bench is a show that is too good for one judge to moderate. In fact, three judges converge to try to settle any number of issues. Justice is then served three-fold. Various judges may fill the available seats to oversee cases. Let me show you a sample of Hot Bench; and unfortunately, this is the best example I could find:^ Hot Bench Thrown Out
Power of Attorney.
"Power of Attorney" was a different kind of judge show in that there were attorneys offering an extra edge in helping clients get the sort of legal compensation they seek. Basically, it is the attorney usually asking the tough questions rather than the judge trying to be judge, jury, and execution. I provided this video to demonstrate what "Power of Attorney" was all about when it aired on TV:^ Power of Attorney
Justice for All.
The judge show "Justice for All" is run by Judge Cristina Perez. She delivers a bold and empowering sense of justice with cases overheard in her court. The show has gained some notoriety when the former bailiff of the show, Renard Spivey was arrested for a domestic violence incident of killing his wife, Patricia Spivey, after an argument. Renard Spivey was once a Harris Country sheriff deputy. Here is a sample of "Justice For All" below:Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez
Divorce Court.
I feel dumb here researching this topic and forgetting all about "Divorce Court!" I tend to recall Judge Mayblean Ephriam as the judge of this show. Later installments would have Lynn Toler as the judge. Divorce Court was all about couples in crisis seeking divorce for any sort of reasons or infidelities among couples. Did you know "Divorce Court" is about as old as 1987? I saw one video of "Divorce Court" that dates back to 1987 as I was researching this topic. Never knew this show lasted THIS long! Here is a sample of "Divorce Court" for you all:^ Judge Lynn Toler Throws Out Wife from Her Courtroom
Judge Jerry.
Yes- Jerry... as in Jerry Springer. THAT Jerry Springer. Judge Jerry is one of the youngest judge shows on TV. I knew Jerry Springer used to be the mayor of Cincinnati. However, I didn't know he used to be a lawyer. While you may not see some of the usual guests on past installments of "The Jerry Springer Show," you will get to see Jerry Springer handle cases with his own personality and charm. You'll see that personality permeate within others on his show. Judge Jerry also has a different level of seriousness going from a daytime talk show host to a television judge. Here is a great promotion of this show:^ Judge Jerry February
Judge Mathis.
Judge Greg Mathis is a native of Detroit, Michigan, USA. He is a powerful and empowering judge overhearing a number of court cases. How powerful? Let me show you- here is a powerful, passionate case on one episode of "Judge Mathis" below:^ Judge Mathis - Most Memorable Case
Judge Joe Brown.
It's Joe time! Judge Joe Brown is an old-school, old-fashioned judge that gets to the bottom of several court cases. He once served among the Tennessee court circuit. Here is a sample of Judge Joe Brown and his no-nonsense style of justice:^ Black Dude Disses Judge Joe Brown gets arrested
Judge Mills Lane.
Time to profile Judge Mills Lane. Or for some people- that judge that refereed Tyson-Holyfield in 1997. Or for some other people- "Let's Get it On!" on MTV's "Celebrity Deathmatch." Mills Lane is best known as a boxing referee. He gained fame refereeing the controversial fight between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield in 1997. He had his own show on TV outside of his referee duties. Check out this sample:^ Judge Mills Lane Part 1 of 3
Judge Alex.
Welcome to the courtroom of Judge Alex Ferrer. He was a Cuban immigrant to America that also served as part of the Florida Circuit Court. This is a sample of Alex Ferrer and his work:^ Judge Alex
"Judge Hatchett" and "The Verdict With Judge Hatchett."
The courtroom of Judge Glenda Hatchett is one of the more interesting court shows which offers unique levels of resolution from various cases. Judge Hatchett has a lot of personality and a great heart. She has been solid in her judging ranging from "Judge Hatchett" to the newer "The Verdict With Judge Hatchett." This video sample below is of the former show of hers.^ Me On Judge Hatchett
Judge Faith.
Meet beautiful-yet-tough judge, Judge Faith Jenkins. She has served as a prosecutor in New York City as well as a legal analyst for cable news. Here is a sample of one court case on her show:^ Judge Faith - Instagram Flexing (Season 1: Episode #127)
Judge Pirro.
"Judge Pirro" is run by Judge Jeanine Pirro. For a sample of her brand of justice, peep this video:^ Judge Pirro - You Are A Despicable Human Being!
Lauren Lake's Paternity Court.
Imagine taking paternity drama of daytime talk shows and then settling matters on a judge show. That basically describes "Paternity Court" with Judge Lauren Lake. Each show ends with a paternity test result to settle matters. Here is a sample episode of "Paternity Court":^ Two Men Fight For Fatherhood (Full Episode) | Paternity Court
Couples Court.
Here is a court ruled by two judges. Meet Judge Dana Cutler and Keith Cutler. Together, they hear cases involving couples in regards to infidelity and other issues. The majority of discussed cases are mostly lighthearted. An episode of "Couples Court" can be seen here:^ Woman Accuses Man Of Cheating But She's Sleeping With Their Roommate (Full Episode) | Couples Court
Texas Justice.
Judge Larry Joe Doherty is all about Texas Justice. This was a show that aired on the FOX networks. There are a lot of serious cases on "Texas Justice." However, there are also some lighthearted and entertaining moments that break apart from the seriousness of these court cases. So there's a little of everything in Texas Justice. If I'm not mistaken, the cases were filmed and held here in Houston for this show. Check this out:^ TEXAS JUSTICE-P1 SEASON TEASE
Moral Court.
The focus of Moral Court is on determining who was morally correct with any number of issues. I always known Moral Court to be run by Judge Larry Elder. The party who wins the court case is awarded money. If the loser is morally "wrong," the winner gets $500 USD. If the loser is morally "offensive," the winner gets $1,000 USD. And if the loser is morally "outrageous," the winner is awarded the maximum- $2,000 USD. Some cases have even been dismissed on the show. You can't fault this show for being unique and trying different ideas. Let me provide you a sample of "Moral Court." Check it:^ moral court
America's Court.
I have never heard of "America's Court," nor have I ever seen what it was like until I did my research of this topic. "America's Court" is ruled by Judge Kevin Ross. Judge Ross believes in a brand of justice in which justice is about way more than simply banging a gavel. Each case is a learning lesson to Judge Ross and the litigants that enter his court room. Here is a sample:^ America's Court with Judge Ross featuring Rose Marie Johnson *WOMAN GETS KICKED OUT OF COURT* SEE*
The People's Court (Modern).
Modern "The People's Court" is ruled by Judge Marilyn Milian. I haven't seen a lot of the more modern installments of this pioneering judge show, but I have seen a few court cases on this show. Here is a sample court case with the Honorable Judge Milian:^ Wedding Photo Fail
Last, but not least... I can't have a discussion of TV judges without mentioning this figure:
The People's Court (Classic). (Honorable Mention!)
The classic and gold standard for TV judges was Judge Joseph Wapner. "The People's Court" has long been the premier court show on television, and Joe Wapner was one of the best at this. Joe Wapner passed away in 2017 at the age of 97. Here is an example of old style "The People's Court" with Judge Joe Wapner presiding:^ Peoples Court Hellroller vs Judge Wapner
This has a post featuring one of many different TV judges and judge shows past and present.
