The Criminal Court
The stakes are high
Presided over by a real judge with a charismatic personality, each episode of this captivating constructed reality format features one fictional criminal court case that is thrilling, emotional and sometimes bizarre. Stories are told through amateur actors, but real lawyers give the stories an authentic feel. Stakes are high as crucial evidence is presented to the court and the story flows between the courtroom and other stories in the courthouse. A cost-effective format as everything can be filmed in one studio – with up to three episodes a day filmed – The Criminal Court promises constructed reality full of highly explosive and exciting cases.
