Judge Rinder is a British arbitration-based reality court show that aired on ITV from 11 August 2014 to 14 October 2020, with repeats continuing until 24 September 2021.
[4][5] Rinder is a practising criminal barrister at 2 Hare Court Chambers in London and this is made clear on the show.
[citation needed] The bailiff on the show is Michelle Hassan, who passes items of evidence (photographs, receipts, copies of text messages etc.)
between the litigants and Judge Rinder during proceedings, which can be displayed on a large video screen in the courtroom (with certain identifying information electronically blurred) when required.
Hassan also brings a box of tissues or a glass of water to any litigant who should become distressed during their case, as well as escorting any additional witnesses into the courtroom and who give their evidence, standing in a dock on the same side of the room where she stands and out of the courtroom again afterwards.
