Judy Justice is an American arbitration-based reality court show presided over by former Manhattan Family Court Judge Judith Sheindlin. Judy Justice is both a spin-off and continuation of courtroom series Judge Judy (1996–2021).[4] The show features Sheindlin adjudicating real-life small-claims disputes within a simulated courtroom set. Prior to the proceedings, all involved parties sign arbitration contracts agreeing to abide by Sheindlin's ruling.

Judy Justice premiered on November 1, 2021.[5] The court show's first four episodes were released on its premiere date,[6] while typically only one new episode airs for each weekday.[7][2]

The series is streamed on Amazon Freevee (known as IMDb TV during its first season),[8] is produced by Amazon MGM Studios,[3] and is the first standard courtroom series to broadcast new episodes exclusively through a streaming service.[9]

While Judge Judy reruns vastly outperformed Judy Justice in its first season,[10] Judy Justice ranked as the number 1 original program on IMDb TV. In addition, Judy Justice received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program following its first season.[11]

Towards the end of its first season, Judy Justice was renewed by Amazon for a second season, which premiered with four episodes on November 7, 2022.[12][13]
