programme information
Judge Hatchett delivers a diverse mix of family court, juvenile court and unusual small claims cases. Each case is explored in-depth, which often brings forth hidden, unpredictable angles that cut to the heard of the conflict. Yet what continues to distinguish the series from its genre are its trademark "intervention" segments: creative sentences handed out by the Judge to help litigants understand the implications of their actions and learn how to better handle problems. These reality-check experiences are shot on-location around the country - from the waters in New York's harbor to the streets of Los Angeles' inner city - and offer guidance that can be blunt, confrontational, enriching or motivational.
