Integral to the launch of JUSTICE FOR THE PEOPLE WITH JUDGE MILIAN will be Judge Marilyn Milian herself. Milian will make herself available to news departments of local broadcast television station partners to offer her own insightful expert legal commentary pertaining to locally-significant and nationally-newsworthy legal cases. This promotional campaign by Milian is part of AMG's commitment to publicize JUSTICE FOR THE PEOPLE WITH JUDGE MILIAN exclusively in broadcast television markets across the country, and providing this content will add value and give local newscasts more connection with prominent national and regional stories.   

The first Hispanic arbitrator to preside over an English-language American court series, Judge Marilyn Milian just completed her 22nd season of THE PEOPLE'S COURT--making her the longest-presiding judge of this iconic courtroom series. During Milian's 22 seasons as host and judge, THE PEOPLE'S COURT was nominated for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program 15 times, and won 4 times, which officially gives THE PEOPLE'S COURT the most Daytime Emmy wins in the court show genre.

Milian received her undergraduate degree at the University of Miami and then earned her law degree from Georgetown Law School. Milian spent a year working at Harvard Law School and then served as Florida Assistant State Attorney for Dade County from 1984-1994.
