About Marilyn Milian
Marilyn Milian, known professionally as Judge Milian, is an American television personality, lecturer, retired Florida Circuit Court judge and court-show arbitrator. For 22 seasons from March 12, 2001 to July 21, 2023, Milian starred in the American courtroom television series The People's Court, replacing Jerry Sheindlin. Justice for the People with Judge Milian, where Milian hears cases presented by actors improvising as litigants, premiered in autumn 2023. Milian is the first Hispanic arbitrator to preside over a court show and during The People's Court's 2001–2023 season she became the show's longest-serving judge, surpassing Joseph Wapner, the show's inaugural jurist. Milian served as presiding judge in the second life of the courtroom show The People's Court, the first arbitration-based reality court show and the second-longest running court show in history. In contrast to The People's Court's previous arbiters, Milian is considerably more animated in her role, but she's also known for being levelheaded and logical in her observations and handling of the cases. In 2001, she replaced Jerry Sheindlin as judge of The People's Court, and became the first Hispanic judge on any English-language television court show.
