Judge Marilyn Milian, host of 'The People's Court' will hand the gavel over to the show's former star, Judge Wapner, on the November 13 episode. Wapner returns to his TV “bench” to preside over a case. The appearance celebrates both his 90th birthday (this Sunday) and his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Milian and Wapner are two of our top TV judges, click through to see the other robed wonders... (Credit: 'The People's Court')![Judge_Joe_Brown]()
Judge Brown’s entertaining show is technically not a real court of law, but that’s ok, it’s Brown’s off-camera career that’s really fascinating. He once presided over the third appeal of the man who assassinated Martin Luther King Jr. (AP)![Judge_Judy_Sheindlin]()
The queen of court TV, “Judge Judy” is beloved for her no-nonsense manner and efficient rulings. She also holds a record for being the highest-paid woman on television. Gavel-banging runs in the family: husband Jerry Sheindlin is a veteran of ‘The People’s Court.’![Judge_Greg_Mathis]()
Judge Mathis overcame a past selling heroin in the Detroit ghetto to become the treasured star of his own show, ‘Judge Mathis.’ (AP)![Judge_Mablean_Ephriam]()
Judge Ephriam turned in her robes this season after seven years presiding over ‘Divorce Court.’ This sassy legal eagle had never even judged a case until the show (she spent her career as a trial attorney).![Judge_Joseph_Wapner]()
Original ‘The People’s Court’ Judge Wapner went over to Animal Planet in recent years, where he starred in ‘Judge Wapner’s Animal Court.’ (AP)![Judge_Marilyn_Milian]()
‘People’s Court’’s first woman judge, Florida native Milian is also the first Latina to preside in an American court series. (AP)![Judge Harry Stone]()
Okay 'Night Court' wasn't an actual TV court of law. But Harry's still our favorite after Wapner. See what the 'Night Court' cast is up to now in our 'THEN/NOW' slideshow.
