Judge Milian bangs the gavel on September 3, 2007 to begin the eleventh season of "The People's Court," the courtroom series that launched the entire television court show genre and the original reality series featuring real litigants, real cases and real justice.

"The People's Court" continues to be a cornerstone in daytime. This past May '07, "The People's Court" led the genre with the highest year-over-year ratings gains with key audiences, Women 18-49 and Women 25-54. In fact, "The People's Court" was the only show in the ever-growing genre to build year-over-year with Women 18-49. Continuing in its tradition as one of Court's original and enduring franchises, the show was also only one of two in the genre to build over its lead-in share with key female audiences.

"The People's Court," produced by Ralph Edwards/Stu Billett Productions (the producers of the original series which ran for 12 years) draws on ordinary people who have filed grievances in civil court and have opted to have their cases heard and mediated by Judge Milian. An experienced team of researchers continually canvass courts across the country in search of the most compelling, unique and thought-provoking cases. Running the gamut from disputes between neighbors and family members, to dissatisfied customers suing businesses, Milian's decisions – based on current law – are final and binding. "These cases are never about the money, they're about principle," Milian proclaims. "The People's Court" has been delivering reality television to viewers for over two decades.

Judge Marilyn Milian brings over 19 years of legal experience to the bench. Milian was appointed to the Miami Circuit Court in 1999 by Governor Jeb Bush, where she served in the Criminal Division. Prior to that, she spent five years in the Miami County Court in the Domestic Violence, Criminal and Civil divisions. She was appointed to the County Court by then-Governor Lawton Chiles. Before serving in the County Court, Milian worked for 10 years as an Assistant State Attorney for the Dade County State Attorney's Office, personally hired by Janet Reno.

Joining Milian is multiple Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter Harvey Levin, who serves as the series' host and legal reporter. In addition to introducing the cases to viewers, Levin literally takes "The People's Court" to the people by polling viewers gathered in New York City at the Times Square Information Center, who watch the cases via monitor. These viewers' spirited comments and debates regarding the cases and Milian's decisions are then incorporated into the show. An attorney and law professor, Levin also examines and explains the legal issues and precedents introduced in the cases.

In-court reporter Curt Chaplin and court officer Douglas McIntosh assist Judge Milian in the courtroom. Chaplin interviews litigants after a decision has been rendered in their cases. As court officer, McIntosh helps Milian in maintaining courtroom order, as well as acting as an intermediary between the Judge and the litigants.

"The People's Court" is a Ralph Edwards/Stu Billett Production and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
