The premise is straightforward: With Sheindlin presiding as judge and attorneys Larry Bakman and Dan Mentzer as the attorneys facing off, a real court case is recreated on a television set, moot court-style, and interspersed with dramatic recreations of the crime itself. It’s a ripped-from-the-headlines sensibility.

Judge Judy Sheindlin has returned to TV with a brand-new true crime docuseries titled Justice on Trial, now streaming on Prime Video.
