What Happens in My House (The Matter of Terrence K.)
Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team revisit one of the most personal and complex cases of her career-a diplomatic immunity battle she encountered as a Family Court Judge. When a foreign diplomat invoked immunity to shield himself from child abuse charges after brutally beating his son, the case ultimately pitted the interests of the U.S. Government against the rights of an abused child.

Burying Rights (Ohio v. Dixon)
Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team recreate the chilling case of Archie Dixon, who confessed to brutally murdering his roommate and burying him alive to profit from selling his car. The case focuses on whether police tactics crossed the line between lawful interrogation and coercion. If the pursuit of truth becomes a violation of justice, will a confessed killer be set free?

Sixteen to Life (1) (People v. Deskovic)
As a teenager, Jeffrey Deskovic stood trial for the tragic assault and murder of his high school classmate.

Sixteen to Life (2) (Deskovic v. Putnam County)
After being exonerated of assault and murder following 16 years in prison, Jeffrey Deskovie fights back with a civil suit. Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team recreate this trial to examine the limits of police and prosecutor liability in wrongful conviction cases. Did law enforcement's tactics used to convict Deskovic make them liable for monetary damages, or criminal prosecution?
E5 · Airs Jul 21, 2025
For the Defendant (Gideon v. Wainwright)
Judge Judy Sheindlin and her team recreate the trials of Clarence Gideon, a Florida man accused in 1963 of burglarizing a pool hall. Forced to defend himself in court due to Florida law, Gideon was found guilty. While in prison, his successful appeal to the Supreme Court effectively created the Public Defender system we have today. Now armed with a savvy attorney, would Gideon win his freedom?

Killer, but Not a Liar (People v. Turriago)
Troopers stopped Leonardo Turriago for a speeding violation on the New York State Thruway, which led police to a grim discovery in the back of his truck: a decomposing body locked in a steamer trunk. But was the search of the truck legal? Judge Judy Sheindlin and her team recreate the case, examining the delicate balance between police search powers and constitutional privacy protections.
E7 · Airs Jul 21, 2025
Hell Goes On Forever (Snyder v. Phelps)
Is inflammatory speech protected under the 1st Amendment? A grieving father witnessed the Westboro Baptist Church's protest with hateful signs and slogans at his son's military funeral, forcing a legal showdown over free speech. Judge Judy Sheindlin and her team recreate this provocative case to highlight the legal boundaries of protected speech, when it conflicts with potential harm to others.
E8 · Airs Jul 21, 2025
Scopes Monkey Trial (State of TN v. Scopes)
To mark the 100th Anniversary of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team recreate this landmark case. In 1925, John Scopes challenged a Tennessee law prohibiting the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution. The iconic case tested the legal boundaries in teaching science versus religion, and, ultimately, the limits of government control over the classroom.
