Power of Attorney is an
American syndicated TV "judge show" that differed from other judge shows in that each side was represented by prominent attorneys who cross-examined witnesses.
The chairman of the
American Bar Association and
O.J. Simpson defense attorney
Johnnie Cochran were guest attorneys on the show. Also, O.J. Simpson prosecutors
Marcia Clark and
Christopher Darden were also guest attorneys.
Gloria Allred, who has handled several high profile cases, was also on hand.
Geoffrey Fieger, who defended Dr.
Jack Kevorkian;
Dominic Barbara, who represented
Joey Buttafuoco; and
Keith Fink were also among guest attorneys on the show.
The show's judge was
Andrew Napolitano during the first season, 2000 - 2001, and in the second season, Judge
Lynn Toler (currently of
Divorce Court) was the presiding judge. The show was cancelled mid-way through the second season due to low ratings and high cost of the 10 or so rotating high profile attorneys.
