Judy Justice has proved to be a major comeback for Judy Sheindlin, although she took retirement from Judge Judy.

Judy Justice is a spin-off of the courtroom series Judge Judy. It is being presided over by Sheindlin and features her ruling out real-life, minor claim disputes inside a simulated courtroom set.

It is produced by Amazon Studios and is available for free streaming on the free and ad-supported video channel, IMDb TV, from November 1. Viewers can also stream the show on Amazon Prime Video.

Judy Sheindlin’s contract lets her continue the show for two more seasons.

Sheindlin was seen in a maroon robe instead of the traditional lace she used to wear. The courtroom has now got a completely modern look, and the legal star has a team to support her.

The new cast members include Sheindlin’s granddaughter, Sarah Rose, and former board-certified court reporter, Whitney Kumar, as courtroom stenographer.

The significant change that the audience will get to see is the new bailiff, Kevin Rasco, a former Los Angeles probationary officer and head of behind-the-scenes security for the last three seasons of Judge Judy on CBS.
