Tribunal Justice

I just started watching this show this past weekend and I absolutely love it. No matter whether it's real or fake it fun to see a different take on having a panel of 3 judges with different points of view in how they go about deciding guilt or innocence. So if the cases brought before them seem a bit outlandish at times but at the same time I stop and think and remind myself that there's enough crazy people out there to get caught up in crazier situations. I also love how when they go to deliberate how they all offer their own point of view and they listen to one another explain their way of thinking. Sometimes their all on the same page and sometimes their not.

I didn't realize how much I missed Tonya Acker and Patricia Dimango from Hot Bench or Officer Byrd from Judge Judy but I did....a lot

I binge watched the first three episodes of Tribunal Justice as soon as I knew they dropped on freevee.

By now you should be familiar with the setup, just like hot bench, the three judges listen to, then decide the cases. What I was mostly concerned with was how the third judge, Adam Levy was going to act. Was he like Larry Bakman, or was he closer to Michael Corriero?

Well my questions were answered. Adam Levy is in fact another Larry Bakman who I've been missing dearly from Hot Bench the past few years. He's a real dog and will get after your butt. (I wanted to use the other word) And I loved every single minute Adam spent grilling people like burger King whoppers.

The cases are new and I like the 10,000$ small claims court limit over the 5,000$ court limit of old Judge Judy's, Hot Bench and the rest of the court shows, for the exception of Judy Justice. And I have instantly found a court show I like better than Hot Bench.

I can't wait to watch more episodes of Tribunal Justice.

What's not to love about this show, I missed Judge Aker and DiMango and Levy is a great add, with his pin point observations catching folks in their own lies Lol. Seeing Byrd was awesome addition too! Hot bench started off strong for several years with these 2 women really holding their own. Not that the two male judges didn't, it's just they didn't match their energy imo. Now with Judge Levy I'm completly satisfied now because his energy is spot in with theirs. I love how he looks into both the plaintiffs and defendants past history and records. This court very thorough and I for one really appreciate that. More info can give a better observation and probable cause. Tribunal is now my new love! Keep em coming Judy!

I only watch the "Judy Sheindlin" court shows because although they are entertaining, the judgments and courtroom decorum are largely based on genuine law. These three no-nonsense judges are seasoned as two are from the original Hot Bench and Levy, the new addition, clearly knows his stuff. I hope this show is renewed as long as the three want to do this work. They each offer unique perspectives based on their own legal and personal experiences. I'm also happy to see Byrd back on the job. This was a wise move by Sheindlin as it was probably time for him to work separately. As a result, this show provides an ensemble that gels.

Having worked for the court, I know how civil cases can play out. These three people are NOT judges. They are arbitrators. Levy needs to dial back the attitude. He has one trait that is just as annoying as his mother. Not looking at the litigant when he is unleashing his vitriol. His eyes trail back and forth as he's "lecturing" a litigant or litigants on what a piece of crap he thinks they are. I do like the discussion about the merits of the case. It's more informative than the browbeating that went on earlier. The program is interesting in a reality show kind of way, but it has little to do with the actual goings on in a court of law.
