Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez is an American nontraditional/dramatized court show that debuted in first-run syndication on September 17, 2012. The series, which is created by Byron Allen through his production company, Entertainment Studios, is presided by lawyer and award-winning TV judge Cristina Perez. Perez returned to American television following a three-year stint on the three-time Daytime Emmy Award winning, 20th Television-distributed court show, Cristina's Court (2006–09), cancelled due to low ratings.[1] Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez is unique in that it's the first court show and one of few television series to simultaneously produce English and Spanish-language versions.[2][3]

Like Entertainment Studios's two other courtroom programs, America's Court with Judge Ross and We the People, Justice for All is a staged court show. At the end of the program, a standard disclaimer is shown which states that "All characters displayed are fictional and any resemblance to actual persons is coincidental." As of the first half of the 2012-13 television season, the three court shows presently produced by Entertainment Studios have been the lowest rated in the court show genre.[4][5][6]

Production and distribution

In March 2012, Entertainment Studios sold the program to stations covering approximately 85% of all U.S. markets, including those owned by CBS Television Stations, Weigel Broadcasting, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Media General, Gray Television, LIN Media, Nexstar Media Group and Meredith Corporation.[7] On July 22, 2013, Entertainment Studios renewed the series for its second and third seasons.[8]

In 2019, bailiff Renard Spivey was arrested in Houston, Texas, where he served as a deputy with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, for allegedly killing his wife.[9][10] He was replaced by Cinder Eller-Kimbell when production resumed in 2021.

In September 2020, Entertainment Studios announced that the series was renewed for seven more seasons, which will take the show through its fifteenth season.[11][12]
