Judge Rinder is a British reality court show that has aired daily on ITV since 11 August 2014. It stars criminal barrister Robert Rinder (born 31st May 1978) as the judge, who oversees a variety of cases, such as disputes over basic consumer issues, business/personal/neighbourhood disputes, and allegations of negligence. The hearings are conducted in a mock-up of a small claims courtroom. The show shares the same format as American television court shows, such as Judge Judy and Judge Mathis.[2] When filmed each case takes around hour or so to film and is subsequently edited down to fit multiple cases into the given time slot.
The court room set resembles an American court room that has been slightly anglicised, as real British courts do not feature flags or gavels. The robes worn by Judge Rinder are regular barristers' robes, minus wig, and do not resemble any actual judicial robes from England and Wales except for robes worn by Deputy High Court judges. Part time judges in the Crown Court (called Recorders) also wear the same robes with wig. In reality, most small claim trials in England and Wales are conducted in District Judges' Chambers, with the parties seated throughout and no robes being worn at all.

Internationally, the series premiered in Australia on LifeStyle You on 22 February 2016.[3]
