Greg Mathis is an ex-superior court judge from Detroit who quit his job there to play a judge on television in Chicago.
Mathis' modus operandi is startlingly similar to that of Judge Joe Brown, who presides over his own eponymous series, one spawned by Sheindlin's producers, recidivists who doubtless created "JJB" for the same reason Pete Rose hawks his baseball personality: because it's where the money is. Brown and Mathis share similar "gang-to-gavel" histories.
Unlike in Mathis' theater, here there's no camera jib looming along the courtroom sidelines like some mechanical praying mantis, a presence that compels some courtroom members to compulsively smooth out their laps and tuck in their chins.
