A founding partner of the law firm Allred, Maroko, & Goldberg, the legal heavyweight will preside over outrageous small claims disputes between aggrieved parties. "I've always been passionate about the law, and I'm very excited about this show. I am fully committed to making 'We The People' a huge success," said Allred, who has also indicated that she intends to continue practicing law while she's not on the bench. Here's Saturday Night Live's take on the woman famous for her red St. John's suits:
Having been involved in some of the most controversial cases of our day, including O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson and Tiger Woods, Allred is sure to have fans and critics alike tuning in. "It is unprecedented to have the biggest name in law come to television and be a part of one of its most successful genres – the television court show," said Byron Allen, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Entertainment Studios. "With the increasing success of our show "America's Court with Judge Ross" we are extremely proud to have Ms. Allred join our family and further demonstrate Entertainment Studios' unwavering commitment to be the number one provider of quality television content."
'We The People', Entertainment Studios 28th and newest HD television program, further cements Byron Allen's position as being one of very few independent entertainment companies run and controlled by African Americans. In the Obama era, black celebrities with entrepreneurial acumen such as Will Smith, Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Foxx, and Queen Latifah are showing Hollywood once again that in the business of show, it’s all about the green!
