The show's judge was Andrew Napolitano during the first season, 2000–2001, and in the second season, 20th Television's Judge Lynn Toler (later of Divorce Court) was the presiding judge.^[1] Joseph J. Catalano II (son of Divorce Court former bailiff Joseph A. Catalano) was the court show's bailiff and Andy Geller was the court show's announcer.

Broadcast history

The show was cancelled mid-way through the second season due to low ratings, the effects of preemptions at the start of the second season due to the September 11 attacks breaking the momentum of Judge Lynn's debut, and the high cost of the 10 or so rotating high-profile attorneys.
