"Judge Karen" is a nationally-syndicated American television show that debuted on September 8, 2008 in 48 of the top 50 U.S. markets.cite web |url=http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS154543+14-Aug-2008+BW20080814 |title=Bold and Sassy "JUDGE KAREN" Brings Daytime Drama to Court (Sony press release) |publisher=Reuters (reuters.com) |date=August 14 2008 |accessdate=2008-09-13] As with other court shows, such as "The People's Court" and "Judge Judy", a real-life judge presides over small claims court cases. On this show, the judge is Karen Mills-Francis, an African-American twice elected Miami-Dade County Court judge. The show is produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television.

To distinguish itself from other shows in the crowded field, "Judge Karen" permits litigants to cross-examine witnesses, and there is a segment at the end in which Mills-Francis answers videotaped questions from viewers.
