Judge Judy Sheindlin, the woman behind syndicated TV’s biggest hit, created this new series, which puts a twist on the court genre by having cases argued before a three-person panel: Judge Patricia DiMango and attorneys Tanya Acker and Larry Bakman. What Judge Judy says about the show: “When my husband Jerry and I were in Ireland recently, we visited the courts and watched a three-judge bench, which I found both fascinating and compelling,” said Sheindlin. “I immediately thought what a terrific and unique idea for a television program that brings the court genre to the next level. We have assembled three individuals with extremely varied backgrounds to serve as the judges. They are smart and talented, with terrific instincts and great chemistry, and are sure to create a ‘hot bench.’ ”
