Entertainment Studios will debut its fourth court show, Supreme Justice with Judge Karen, next fall, the company said Wednesday.

Judge Karen Mills-Francis is a court-show veteran, having hosted two previous programs, the first produced by Sony Pictures Television and the second produced by Litton Entertainment. Prior to becoming a TV judge, Mills-Francis was a county court judge in Florida and a criminal defense attorney in Miami. She's especially focused on advocating for the rights of families and children. She's also recently published a book, Stay in Your Lane: Judge Karen's Guide to Living Your Best Life.

Supreme Justice joins ES' three other court shows -- America's Court with Judge Ross, We the People with Gloria Allred and Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez, which is produced in both English and Spanish. Perez is a three-time Emmy winner and last year, both America's Court and We the People were nominated for Daytime Emmys.

"[W]e are very pleased to have Judge Karen join our family and further demonstrate Entertainment studios' unwavering commitment to be the number one provider of quality television content," said Byron Allen, founder, chairman and CEO of Entertainment Studios in a statement. "Bringing Supreme Justice with Judge Karen as an opportunity to our television station, cable, and advertising clients is another proud moment in the legacy of Entertainment Studios."
