What happens

Superior Court is a dramatized court show that aired in syndication from 1986 to 1989, and featuring fictionalized re-enactments of actual court cases. William D. Burns, Jr., a former municipal court commissioner for the city of Beverly Hills, presided for the first season. He was replaced for the second season by Jill Jakes, a former judge of that court, and Louis M. Welsh, a retired San Diego Superior Court judge. In the final season, actor Raymond St. Jacques portrayed Judge Clayton C. Thomas. Reruns were later aired on the USA Network during the early 1990s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
