The court date has been set, and JUDGE DAVID YOUNG premieres on September 10, 2007 as the half-hour daily court show that brings a colorful new personality to the daytime proceedings.

Quick-witted, provocative and compassionate, Judge David Young arrives to daytime television straight from his native Miami, where he achieved local celebrity for his creative courtroom approach and his tough, but fair sentencing.

Known for his fierce intelligence and occasional bursts into show tunes, Judge David Young brings a refreshing perspective to the daytime audience. With a well-earned reputation for being confrontational, caring and always entertaining, Judge Young commands respect first and foremost from his litigants and has zero tolerance for those who attempt to dodge responsibility or waste the court's time.

Young first captured America's attention and respect during a high-profile case in 2005, when he sent two America West pilots to jail for attempting to operate a commercial airliner while intoxicated.

Young will be joined every day by the vibrant and warm-hearted Bailiff Tawya Young (no relation), whose experience as a lieutenant at Brooklyn Civil-Small Claims Court will serve as an invaluable support to JUDGE DAVID YOUNG.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Young attended Tulane University and the University Of Miami College Of Law. He served as assistant state attorney in Miami-Dade County under Janet Reno, and was re-elected twice as Circuit Court Judge in Miami-Dade County before stepping down to host his new series.

JUDGE DAVID YOUNG is produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television. For local airtime and station information please visit www.judgedavidyoung.com.
