More about Justice on Trial
So what¡¯s different this time? In Justice on Trial, Judy steps away from petty TV squabbles and steps into the world of real, high-stakes criminal cases. The series revisits eight landmark trials that have shaped the lives of millions of Americans. Each episode reconstructs the courtroom drama using a combination of reenactments, actual trial transcripts, news footage, and commentary from Judge Sheindlin herself.
In her own words, ¡°Judges do not make law. They interpret the law. Judges are people. Sometimes they get it wrong¡ then what happens?¡± It¡¯s this exact question that drives the show. Justice on Trial is an invitation to rethink everything we assume about fairness, verdicts, and the role of the court.
What kind of cases does Justice on Trial deal with?
The cases explored range from issues of free speech and education policy to questions about suppressed evidence in murder trials. For instance, one episode deals with whether the First Amendment truly protects all types of speech. Another takes a hard look at how and why a piece of evidence like a dead body could be deemed inadmissible in court, potentially letting a killer walk free.
While Judy herself holds the bench, the trial segments are brought to life by actors portraying the prosecutors, defence attorneys, and witnesses. Meanwhile, real-life legal voices, such as Judge Tanya Acker and former district attorney Adam Levy, provide context and analysis, ensuring viewers walk away with a better understanding of how the legal system actually works.
Behind the scenes, Sheindlin is also its creator and executive producer. She¡¯s joined by longtime collaborators Casey Barber, David Carr, and Randy Douthit, with Amy Freisleben serving as co-executive producer.
