HOLLYWOOD, CA - September 8, 2010 - JUDGE JOE BROWN, the #2 rated syndicated court show on television since its inception, begins its 13th season on September 13, 2010.

This year, JUDGE JOE BROWN welcomes Jeanne Zelasko as the show's new court reporter. Zelasko comes to the show with 17 years of broadcast journalism experience under her belt, including her well regarded work at Fox Sports.

JUDGE JOE BROWN provides audiences with an inside look at real cases involving litigants from across the nation. When they bring cases to his courtroom, litigants are bound by Brown's insightful rulings. He shows litigants unique ways in which they can responsibly deal with their unlawful or wrongful acts, and also forces wrongdoers to reflect on the consequences of their transgressions.

This Season, JUDGE JOE BROWN will air "Bad Girls Tuesday," themed episodes that will run every Tuesday. Each show will feature a "Bad Girl" viewers will love to hate, including thieving sisters, scandalous best friends, opportunistic mothers and greedy girlfriends, who will say anything to try to persuade Judge Joe Brown to rule in her favor.

On Thursdays, it's the men's turn with "Bad Boys Thursday." Each episode will showcase a "Bad Boy" waiting to be straightened out by the Judge, from unruly teenagers, spoiled "mama's boys" to deadbeat dads with every excuse in the book.
