Judge Mathis is an American arbitration courtroom series presided by Greg Mathis, a retired Michigan’s 36th District Court judge and Black motivational speaker. It aired from September 13, 1999 to May 25, 2023, and was taped at the NBC Tower in Chicago. Mathis' bailiff is comic and actor Doyle Devereux, who is the series' second bailiff, following Brendan Moran (who passed away tragically in December 2002). | |

| Judge Mathis / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Judge Mathis is very much one when it comes to dealing with abused children and ripping the perpetrators of said abuse a new one. | |

| Judge Mathis / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Mathis is a reformed juvenile delinquent who credits his mother for helping get him on the right path, "from jail to Judge," as he often says. As such, he's committed to helping uplift young people, especially young African-American men. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Judge Mathis / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Judge Mathis begins each case by telling the plaintiff, "Start with you." In earlier seasons, he would also say, "Prove your case." Doyle [bailiff]: "All rise! This court is now in session, the Honorable Judge Greg Mathis presiding. ... You may now be seated." | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Judge Mathis / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: In one emotionally charged case, the plaintiff was accusing her sister, the defendant, of keeping her teenage daughter (who had moved in with the defendant) away from her. The defendant hit back with an audio recording in which the plaintiff not only admitted to abusing the girl but was totally unrepentant. After giving the plaintiff an epic "Reason You Suck" Speech, Judge Mathis awarded the defendant $3500 on her countersuit for the emotional distress of having to deal with the abuse of her niece, and announced he would send the audio recording to the authorities and have the plaintiff prosecuted for abuse. Some parents are emotionally abusive. One case involving a mother suing her daughter for repayment of a loan took a shocking turn when the plaintiff admitted to making a comment that her daughter, a survivor of child sexual abuse, must have enjoyed being abused. The defendant countersued her mother, claiming her mother's comments had triggered a recurrence of her PTSD regarding the abuse, and brought a statement from her doctor as proof. Judge Mathis was furious that a mother would say such a thing to her child and ruled in the defendant's favor. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Judge Mathis / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Mathis is generally nice as far as TV judges go, but he doesn’t put up with ridiculous cases or with particularly odious individuals. Abusive parents in particular will trigger his Berserk Button. | |
