social issues is what makes Judge Hatchett the only courtroom series of its kind on the air today. During her nine years on the bench in Georgia, Judge Glenda Hatchett modernized the state's juvenile court sentencing procedures by pioneering an effective method for communicating with truants through 'intervention.' The Judge consistently incorporates this intervention program into her self-titled series by sentencing litigants to spend time with community leaders and successful professionals, as well as those who've gone through the criminal justice system.
