‘Adam’s Law’ Trailer: Judge Judy Passes Daytime TV Gavel to Her Son in New Court Show

Court is back in session. 

CBS Media Ventures has released the trailer for “Adam’s Law,” a new syndicated daytime court show led by Judge Adam Levy, son of the famed TV jurist Judge Judy, aka Judith Sheindlin.

The series is set to premiere Sept. 14 in first-run syndication, distributed by CBS Media Ventures and airing on a number of CBS-owned stations including CBS LA and WCBS-TV New York.

Created by Sheindlin, “Adam’s Law” features Levy channeling his mother’s no-nonsense approach to bring truth forward and ensure justice is served. 

The trailer shows Levy delivering quick-witted, unfiltered remarks not unlike his mother’s approach from the bench. In the trailer, Sheindlin appears to reveal she wouldn’t have encouraged her son to take this project on five years ago as she believes he has the talent to beat her, and she firmly believes “Adam’s Law” will become the No. 1 program in daytime. 

“I’m confident that he has that kind of entertaining personality that will endear him to the same viewing public that has embraced me for 30 years,” Sheindlin says in the trailer.

Sheindlin and Roland Tieh are executive producers of “Adam’s Law.” Sandra Allen serves as co-executive producer for CBS and Sheindlin’s Queen Bee Productions.  

Levy has 25 years of legal experience and previously served as a Presiding Judge on “Tribunal Justice” and “Justice on Trial” on Prime Video. The judge also served two terms as Putnam County District Attorney, where he was the founding member of the Putnam County Intelligence Committee, and taught at the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and the New York Prosecutors Training Institute. 

“Judge Judy” ran for 25 seasons and ended in 2021. The series became the No. 1 first-run syndicated program, garnering an average of 10 million viewers an episode. It was the highest-rated court program for each season it aired and established Sheindlin as TV’s most well-known judge of the modern era. At her peak, in the 2010s after Oprah Winfrey ended her syndicated daytime talk show in 2011, Sheindlin reigned as daytime TV’s highest-paid star with an annual haul of around $47 million.

Sheindlin launched another series, “Judy Justice,” also in 2021 on Amazon Prime Video’s now-defunct Freevee, with the first season drawing in 25 million hours of viewing time. It ultimately became IMDb TV’s top original program in first streams and hours watched.
