All Rise

ALL RISE is a drama that pulls back the curtain on the court system and shows the chaotic, hopeful and sometimes absurd lives of dedicated judges and attorneys as they work with bailiffs, clerks, cops and jurors to bring justice to the people of Los Angeles. Newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick, LUKE CAGE) is well known for her impressive career as a formidable and occasionally impulsive deputy district attorney. She doesn’t intend to sit back on the bench in her new role, but instead leans in, immediately pushing the boundaries and challenging the expectations of what a judge can be. Those offering Lola counsel are her roguish best friend and colleague Mark Callan (Wilson Bethel, HART OF DIXIE), a successful deputy district attorney who now must adjust to the shifting boundaries in their personal and professional relationship; Supervisory Judge Lisa Benner (Marg Helgenburger, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION), an influential, powerful figure tasked with overseeing Lola’s transition into her new job; and Lola’s efficient, pragmatic judicial assistant, Sherri Kansky (Ruthie Ann Miles, THE AMERICANS), who isn’t thrilled at the prospect of “training” a rookie judge. Also working in the courthouse are Emily Lopez (Jessica Camacho, THE FLASH), an empathetic and blunt public defender filled with fire and conviction; Luke Watkins (J. Alex Brinson, TRAVELERS), a court bailiff by day, law student by night; and Sara Pratt (Lindsay Mendez, ELEMENTARY), a court reporter and reliable source of intel and advice. Amid a flawed legal system, these men and women devote their lives to rebalancing the scales of justice. Greg Spottiswood, Len Goldstein, and Emmy® Award winner Michael M. Robin are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television. Robin directed the pilot from a script by Spottiswood.
