About the show

Hot Bench, created by Judge Judy Sheindlin, is the only three-judge panel in broadcast syndication. Judges Dan Mentzer, Rachel Juarez, and Yodit Tewolde bring decades of legal experience to real small claims cases from across the country. Beyond delivering legal rulings, they offer insight, guidance, and new perspectives to litigants and viewers alike. The show aims to both educate and entertain by resolving real-life legal disputes. New episodes of Hot Bench are available every weekday.
