Judge Jeanine Pirro: 'Go for the jugular' daytime jurisprudence

May

We’ve now confirmed what I’ve always suspected: If you want a televised small claims court show, you better have a first name that begins with the letter “J.” Judge Judy. Judge Joe Brown. And now, Judge Jeanine Pirro. For TV execs—like overworked magazine editors—the temptation of an alliterative show title is just too good to pass up.

Pirro’s new show will begin on September 22, according to Shawn Cohen’s story on LoHud today. It’ll be an hour-long program on the CW, in which the former Westchester County DA will “mete out justice with her own ‘go for the jugular’ style.”

Note to all prospective litigants: If your case isn’t going well, just bring up Hillary Clinton and/or Al Pirro. A surefire way to bring Judge Jeanine to tears and invoke a mistrial.
