Allen Media Adding New Court Show With Marilyn Milian

Allen Media Group has given the go-ahead for Justice for the People with Judge Milian, a daily one-hour court strip for this fall, available to broadcast television stations nationwide.

As with Mathis Court with Judge Mathis, AMG’s other new court entry announced on April 3, Milian will make herself available to news departments of stations carrying the show to offer legal commentary “pertaining to locally significant and nationally newsworthy legal cases.”

AMG says this promotional campaign by Milian “is part of AMG’s commitment to publicize Justice for the People with Judge Milian exclusively in broadcast television markets across the country, and providing this content will add value and give local newscasts more connection with prominent national and regional stories.”

The first Hispanic arbitrator to preside over an English-language American court series, Judge Marilyn Milian just completed her 22nd season of The People’s Court, during which the show was nominated for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program 15 times, and won four times. The People’s Court‘s current season is its last.

Milian received her undergraduate degree at the University of Miami and then earned her law degree from Georgetown Law School. She spent a year working at Harvard Law School and then served as Florida Assistant State Attorney for Dade County from 1984 to 1994.

In 1994 Milian was appointed to the County Court bench, and assigned to the Domestic Violence, Civil and Criminal Divisions. In 1999, Milian was appointed to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where she served in the Criminal Division.

Milian replaced Jerry Sheindlin as judge of The People’s Court in 2001.

“We at Allen Media Group are proud to add our ninth television court series Justice for the People with Judge Milian to our amazing portfolio of court shows,” said Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “Judge Marilyn Milian is an outstanding, charismatic and brilliant television host.”

Milian said: “I am extremely proud and excited to work with Byron Allen and Allen Media Group to bring Justice for the People with Judge Milian to television while helping to enhance legal news coverage for local stations this fall.”
