Power Of Attorney is a really cool court show
mastuhoscg5 August 2023
There is one thing I hafta say. "Power Of Attorney" is a really cool court show from the past. The reason why I say so is because it was entertaining, it reminded me of what goes in inside of a real courtroom & I also like that 5 years before she replaced Judge Mablean Ephriam on "Divorce Court", Judge Lynn Toler was the second judge on this show after its first judge whom was Judge Andrew Napolitano exited. I like that in one episode of its second season, Judge Lynn Toler gave a disrespectful litigant some advice & taught him a lesson on how to conduct himself in a place of business. I love how in this show, famous attorneys cross examine litigants whilst asking them questions related to the lawsuits. I wished that 20th Television didn't cancel "Power Of Attorney" after 2 seasons because it was really good & unfortunately, I can only find a small number of episodes of this show online but they're still really entertaining. "Power Of Attorney" is just as cool as "Divorce Court", "Judge Hatchett", "Judge Mathis", "Judge Joe Brown", "Judge Alex", "Lauren Lake's Paternity Court", "Judge Faith", "Judge Mills Lane", "Judge Steve Harvey", "Judge Dad", "Judge Karen", "Judge Karen's Court", "Supreme Justice With Judge Karen", "Justice With Judge Mablean", "America's Court with Judge Ross", "Judge Maria Lopez", "The Mediator With Ice T", "Ana Polo Rules", "Mathis Court With Judge Mathis", "Family Court With Judge Penny", "The Verdict With Judge Hatchett", "Justice For All With Judge Cristina Perez", "Equal Justice With Judge Eboni K. Williams" & other court shows I happen to like.

Complete Nonsense of a Syndicated Court Show
warlock1625 July 2002
This pitiful court show followed the same format as "Judge Judy", "Judge Mathis", "Judge Joe Brown", "The People's Court", "Judge Mills Lane", "Texas Justice", "Divorce Court", .Everyday people bring lawsuits in a small claims court. You have a plaintiff, who brings on the lawsuit against the defendant. The defendant, of course, defends itself against the claims brought on by the plaintiff. If appropriate, the defendant brings a countersuit against the plantiff. The judge hears the case, and the judge gives a decision based on the law.

This "Power of Attorney" crap followed this format with a difference as implied in its title: high-profile lawyers represent the litigants to make a pseudo-court case. I was highly annoyed at these lawyers' attempts at being "artificially theatrical" and "overly dramatic". They were purposely trying to put on a show before the camera in a real bad attempt at showing their alleged "skill" to the public. Perhaps it was done in an attempt to get ratings, or to entertain the audience, or to get shock value. They overdid it too much. None of it worked.

These lawyers are high-standard in whatever state from which they come. They are used to major cases. On this syndicated show, however, they handled low level crap compared to what they are accustomed to. To act overly dramatic on these petty cases was really ridiculous to watch.

I was not a regular watcher of this nonsense. I only watched it a few times when I had a day off from work. Those few times were a waste of my times.

I am probably the only person who will ever write a review on this mess.

That's because others who saw it may not think it is worth their time to write anything about this mess. I did it so that I could practice my typing.

Thank god the show is canceled, gone, and kaput!!
