HOT BENCH, is led by a trio of judges, Yodit Tewolde, Rachel Juarez and Judge Michael Corriero, who take on real small claims cases from courthouses across the country. The show averages nearly 2 million viewers and ranks in the top 10 first-run shows in all of syndication, delivering the 6th most loyal audience in syndication, with 26% of its audience watching the show at least 3 times a week.

The Season 10 opener kicks off with an injury collision case between a man and a teenager who claims to be a seasoned driver.

Created by Judge Judy Sheindlin, Emmy-nominated HOT BENCH is the first-ever three-judge bench on television, where plaintiffs and defendants seek justice from a panel of judges, who argue the merits of cases amongst themselves to come to a verdict. Additionally, viewers are treated to a bird's eye view of how the court functions, watching the judges hash out the facts and law during deliberations where ultimately majority rules.
