Justice on Trial

This federal law to protect diplomats and giving them full immunity in the 1st episode of the 9 yr old boy from Zimbabwe who was almost beaten to death by his father needs to be amended! If it is they case that diplomats are not adhered to the same laws, Judge Judy, as you or I, then they should not be allowed to attend our public school system where every child is to be treated equally by the teachers and administrators! If these people would be allowed to rob a bank or shoot someone down on the street then it should be mandated that a United States Secret Service member be appointed to each diplomat to keep all laws in order to also protect the citizens of the United States. This is not 1961, and a lot of things have changed since then. Trump has made several changes and ammending this law to protect everyone involved should be done immediately! A diplomat is not GOD!

Horrible acting. Re-enactments just bad. Get the actors clothes that fit. I watched the first episode and it will be the last. This definitely won't have a season 2. I'm trying to think of a positive, but can only come up with it is good that Judge Judy is trying to put a spotlight on the injustice system.

"Justice on Trial" offers a compelling exploration of legal systems and their moral underpinnings. For law students, this series is a goldmine-it presents actual enactments that come strikingly close to reality, making it not just entertaining but deeply educational.

Each episode examines courtroom procedures with impressive authenticity, tackling ethical conflicts and complex legal decisions that invite critical thought. It isn't just a retelling of famous cases-it's a bold interrogation of what justice really means.

A must-watch for law aspirants, this series successfully blends dramatic flair with courtroom precision, making it an enriching experience for those eager to understand both the law's technicalities and its deeper implications.

I adore Judge Judy and watch everything she does, but this is unwatchable. The beyond cheesy reenactments, the horrible acting, and the Judge herself looks stiff and uncomfortable. I made it through 2 episodes and it was painful. I don't know whose idea this was but they need to think again. It might have been okay if it was done in a documentary style with a look back on the cases. Why writers and producers think reenactments with third rate actors and production values are a good idea is beyond me. This does not deserve a second season or to be associated with Judge Judy. She can definitely do better.

The first depicted a child being severely beaten. I think trigger warnings are needed. I usually love Judge Judy and the facts of a case are the facts of a case, but thats just not soemething at my age I want to see on television. I have pretty severe PTSD and was not prepared for that. I will check out other episodes and hopefully they will be less graphic. To the children who have experienced such horrible torture at the hands of their parents, I pray for your healing.
