Power of Attorney (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Power of Attorney is an American syndicated TV "judge show" that differed from other judge shows in that each side was represented by prominent attorneys who cross-examined witnesses.

The chairman of the American Bar Association and O.J. Simpson defense attorney Johnnie Cochran were guest attorneys on the show. Also, O.J. Simpson prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden were also guest attorneys.

Also, Dominic Barbara, who represented Joey Buttafuoco, was a guest attorney.

Gloria Allred, who has handled several high profile cases, was also on hand.

Geoffrey Fieger, who defended Dr. Jack Kevorkian, was a guest attorney.

The show's judge was Andrew Napolitano during the first season, 2000 - 2001, and in the second season, Judge Lynn Toler (currently of Divorce Court) was the presiding judge. The show was cancelled mid-way through the second season due to low ratings and high cost of the 10 or so rotating high profile attorneys.
