Judge Judy Sheindlin puts the American justice system on trial in a true crime high-stakes courtroom drama, as she and her expert legal team recreate the trials from notorious cases where following the letter of the law did not necessarily feel “just.” Season 1 spans from the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial to a case in which the convicted killer is currently on Death Row.

A panel of three judges hear court cases, argue the merits of the case amongst themselves, and render a verdict.
