== Synopsis ==
The show is presided over by former Nevada district court judge Mills Lane, who is more widely known for being a professional boxing referee. Lane's catchphrase "let's get it on" is used to open each case and if he finds one of the litigants to be out of line, he often tells them that if they don't stop, "your case is gone."

Since the beginning, the series has filmed in New York. The first two seasons were filmed at WPIX, while the third season was filmed at CBS Broadcast Center. Starting in the fourth season, the show has been shot at WBC Broadcast Center.
=== Opening title sequence and music ===
The introduction to the series' first season mentioned Lane's connection to both boxing and the law.
The theme music for the first two seasons and the fourth season onward was composed by Edd Kalehoff (best known for his work on shows such as The Price is Right and Monday Night Football). The third season used an entirely different tune with lyrics.
