As with other court shows, such as Judge Mathis and Judge Judy, a former judge serves as an arbitrator, and awards the litigants monetary judgments, of up to $5000, which is paid in full by the program's producers.
Judge Pirro is recorded in Chicago at NBC Tower, the NBC network's Chicago broadcast base and home to the related courtroom series Judge Mathis, and is produced by Telepictures Productions, distributed in syndication by Warner Bros. Greg Mathis, who presides over the aforementioned Judge Mathis, serves as this series' executive producer.
Upon its premiere, Judge Pirro was made part of The CW Daytime programming block (meaning that, while technically a syndicated series, it only aired on CW affiliates).[2] Following its first season The Tyra Banks Show was pulled from national syndication and took over Judge Pirro's place in the CW Daytime lineup, resulting in the series moving to other stations. The series now airs on a majority of Fox-owned stations nationwide.
On November 23, 2009, Broadcasting Cable announced that Fox had renewed Judge Jeanine Pirro for a third season.[3]
In Spring 2011, it was announced that due to low ratings, Judge Pirro has been cancelled and taken out of production, and was withdrawn from syndication in September 2011.[4]
In 2011, Judge Pirro was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Legal Program category in which the show won.
