Daytime Emmy® Award-winning JUDGE MATHIS always has a full docket of cases that engages viewers from coast to coast. The reality-based court show is presided over by former Detroit-area District Court Judge Greg Mathis, who inspires viewers with his gang-to-gavel story.
In each episode, Judge Mathis lays down the law, presiding over real, hard-hitting cases. Always a judge but never judgmental, Judge Mathis seeks to find a positive solution for the most dire situations. A unique role model, Judge Mathis stands out from other court show judges. As a young man, he was involved with gangs, dropped out of school, spent time in jail and then, as a promise to his dying mother, turned his life around. He attended college, earned a law degree, became the youngest judge in Michigan’s history, and served as a Superior Court Judge. His trademark sense of humor, personal commitment to social and equal justice, and degree of humanity and forthrightness distinguish him from the rest of the genre.
