In an exclusive trailer released by PEOPLE, Levy, who is 57 years old, showcases his abilities as a presiding judge. Highlighting Levy’s skills, his mother, Judge Judy, who serves as the executive producer for the show, praises him for his impressive recall and on-screen presence. “He has fabulous recall,” Judy remarks. “And he’s got great TV eyes,” she adds, underscoring her fondness as well as her professional admiration for her son.
Interestingly, Judy reflects on her earlier reservations about Levy hosting a courtroom series of his own. She confesses, “I wouldn’t have encouraged him ten years ago, or even five years ago. I wasn’t ready to give it up.” She acknowledges that Levy has the talent that could surpass her own legacy, saying, “quite frankly, he has the talent to beat me. I don’t like the idea of that.” To this, Levy light-heartedly responds, reminding her, “I’m right here, you know?”
‘Adam’s Law’ goes beyond mere entertainment, as defined by Levy himself. The series aims to address the intricacies of justice while remaining dedicated to principles of fairness and truth. Viewers can expect not just another game show but rather a genuine exploration of the legal system. As Levy continues, he describes the series as focusing on individuals seeking “real justice” through “real cases.”
Levy’s qualifications speak volumes about his capability to lead this new venture. A graduate from Hofstra Law School in 1992, he started his career as an Assistant District Attorney at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office before co-founding his own firm, Levy & Santoro, based in Carmel, New York. His notable service as the District Attorney for Putnam County included a significant 40% decrease in property crime and led to the county receiving accolades as the safest in the state during his tenure.
Moreover, his accomplishments as DA include creating initiatives focused on child advocacy, establishing the Putnam County Intelligence Committee, and expanding a Drug Treatment Court Programme that received awards for its innovation. This background adds a layer of credibility to Levy’s role on ‘Adam’s Law’, as he endeavors to maintain the high standards set by his mother.
Beyond his profession in the courtroom, Levy values family life, sharing three children—Jacob, Emma, and Sarah Rose—with his wife, Lori. Sarah Rose is already following in the family’s legal footsteps as a law clerk on ‘Judy Justice’.
‘Adam’s Law’ is produced by CBS Media Ventures alongside Queen Bee Productions, with Judy Sheindlin and Roland Tieh serving as executive producers and Sandra Allen taking on the role of co-executive producer. As Levy prepares to take the reins, he does so with the support and encouragement of his mother, who remains an icon in daytime television.
Judge Judy, whose long-running show captivated audiences from 1996 until 2021, has also transitioned into the current era with ‘Judy Justice’, which began airing in 2022. Now, with ‘Adam’s Law’, the baton is set to be passed to the next generation while promising a seamless continuation of the engaging courtroom drama that viewers have come to love.
As audiences await the series premiere, many are eager to see how Levy interprets his role and the impact of his experiences on his approach to justice. With a blend of rigorous legal standards and compelling storytelling, ‘Adam’s Law’ hopes to secure its place as a must-watch programme in the daytime lineup.
