Scales of Justice was a Canadian series of docudrama television films, which aired on CBC Television between 1991 and 1995.[1] Based on an earlier CBC Radio series of the same name, the films dramatized notable Canadian court cases, with actors reenacting the real-life events of the trial.[2]
The series was produced by George Jonas, with lawyer Edward Greenspan involved in the production as narrator and legal consultant, while episodes were co-written by Jonas with a variety of collaborators and directed by a variety of Canadian filmmakers.[3]
Episodes of the series were either one hour or two hours, depending on the complexity of the case being depicted.
The series was cancelled in 1995.[4]
