News and commentary: progress in work
Warner Bros. is ending The People’s Court syndicated show after 26 seasons.
Ex-Miami Judge Marilyn Milian has presided over the cases (which constitute arbitration hearings re-routed from small claims courts around the country) since 2001 on the now-cancelled, long-running daytime TV series.
Update 9/7/20: Season 24 of The People’s Court premiered today, Labor Day, on a virtual basis. There was little or no perceptual technological delay in the remote connection between the litigants and the judge (or the litigants and hallway guy Doug Llewelyn), which is impressive. The show added a new segment called “after the verdict” during which Judge Milian and her husband, Judge John Schlesinger, discuss the case. Judge Milian seems quite amped up even when talking with Schlesinger. Only two (rather than the usual three) cases were heard on the new season’s debut episode. Given the remote nature of the proceedings, presumably the producers require the litigants to sign all necessary arbitration documents before the hearing to avoid any noncompliance. Wraparound guy Harvey Levin of TMZ fame answered a few legal questions from viewers (no man-or woman-on the street reactions during COVID).
