America's Court with Judge Ross

I have read some of the reviews denigrating this judge and I do not agree at all. I find in most cases he is right on the money: he explains his decisions in detail -explains why he is ruling the way he does. The only downside of the show is that some of the plaintiffs/defendants seem like actors to me: I would hope, like other judge shows, they would use the real people involved in these situations.

Why is this show even on the air in select places? Kevin Ross is not a judge anymore and was disbarred by the State Bar of California.

Kevin Ross was a judge in the Los Angeles courts at one time. Unfortunately, he treated his courtroom like his own little kingdom and regularly abused the rights of people coming before him. (Do a Google search for the Los Angeles Times article on this, published Nov. 17, 2005.) He violated so many people's rights, that the Commission on Judicial Performance (California's governing body over Judges in the State) conducted an investigation.

At the end of their investigation, they REVOKED Kevin Ross' judgeship, and the State Bar of California also DISBARRED this guy from ever practicing law in California again.

So now he ends up doing a TV show as a "Judge"?? Not only is that ludicrous, the show is awful. As another reviewer here said, it's legal lite, as though the Judge doesn't have a breadth of the law. Well... he doesn't! Not when he consistently violated the rights of people appearing in his real courtroom when he was a Judge.

I can't believe that 'America's Court with NOT A Judge Ross' is still being shown on Ch 9 in Los Angeles! It is a travesty of the Justice System and Kevin Ross is a PATHETIC FRAUD! The cases are extremely ridiculous and very obviously FAKE and the so called actors are laughingly bad. There are hundreds of older shows that were cancelled over the years that could and should be shown instead. For instance, I'd love to see 'Perception' starring Eric McCormack, 'The Good Wife', 'Mad Men', 'Dexter', 'Breaking Bad' and 'Monk' to name a few of the wonderful shows cancelled. Get Rid of that HORRIBLE, FAKE COURT SHOW, 'America's Court'-THE SOONER THE BETTER!

This show is really good for cringe watching at best. The plaintiffs and defendants are always terrible actors. Interesting reviews on this show are also fun to read. Surely no one thinks this is real.

Working in the legal profession, I would think his show is a satire. Every ruling is wrong that I've seen. Can't watch this show. His intro claims to educate. It's not on the law, that's for sure. Too bad for losers if it's binding The worst representation of the judical process. Lazy and careless. Best representation of why you need a lawyer.
