Judge Karen

JUDGE KAREN'S COURT will premiere on KNWS TV51 on Monday, September 20, 2010.

The judge is Karen Mills-Francis, a "sassy" African-American woman twice elected Miami-Dade County Court judge, who claims that "justice isn't always black and white".
Called "the most colorful judge on TV," by The Los Angeles Times, Judge Karen is known for her trademark burgundy robes and blonde hair along with her razor-sharp wit and compassionate heart.
Audiences embraced Judge Karen's feisty personality and passionate advocacy for families and children.
Don't miss a second of Judge Karen's Court, 5 nights a week on KNWS this fall.

Judge Hatchett

JUDGE HATCHETT delivers a diverse mix of family court, juvenile court and unusual small claims cases. Each case is explored in-depth, which often brings forth hidden, unpredictable angles that cut to the heard of the conflict.

Yet what continues to distinguish the series from its genre are its trademark "intervention segments" creative sentences handed out by the Judge to help litigants understand the implications of their actions and learn how to better handle problems. These reality-check experiences are shot on-location around the country from the waters in New York's harbor to the streets of Los Angeles's inner city and offer guidance that can be blunt, confrontational, enriching or motivational.

Tune in weeknights for two compelling episodes of JUDGE HATCHETT on KNWS!
