This paper attempts to counter legal studies’ common reading of court TV shows by starting with an understanding of themastelevision, rather comparing them to ‘real courts’. It analyses two recent examples of British court TV shows –Judge Rinder(ITV, 2014–) andJudge Geordie(MTV, 2015) – to draw out how the text'sformestablishes particular kinds of ‘televisual legal consciousness’.Judge Rinder’s daytime address and his camped authority allow a frame in which humour can disarm conflict and reveal wider political injustice.Judge Geordie’s irreverent upturning of the judged into judge draws upon the registers of youth reality television to privilege affect and emotion. In staging some of the tensions between law's masculine rationality and popular culture's feminine emotionality, these shows enact their interdependence. Such an analysis that includes attention to form, address and genre allows us a deeper exploration of the relationship between television, law and the everyday.

从朱迪法官到林德法官和乔治法官：幽默、情感和“电视法律意识”

本文试图从对法庭电视节目的理解入手，反驳法律研究对法庭电视节目的普遍解读。作为电视，而不是将它们与“真正的法庭”进行比较。它分析了最近两个英国宫廷电视节目的例子——林德法官(ITV, 2014–) 和乔迪法官(MTV, 2015) – 画出文本的形式确立了特定类型的“电视法律意识”。林德法官白天的演说和他扎营的权威提供了一个框架，在这个框架中，幽默可以解除冲突并揭示更广泛的政治不公正。乔迪法官将被评判者无礼地变成法官的做法利用了青年真人秀电视节目的记录，以赋予情感和情感以特权。在上演法律的男性理性和流行文化的女性情感之间的一些张力时，这些节目体现了它们的相互依存关系。这种包括对形式、地址和类型的关注的分析使我们能够更深入地探索电视、法律和日常生活之间的关系。
