[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 438227, member: 23"] Since I'd almost caught up with the [I]Judy Justice[/I] drops, I decided to stop at S4E40 (a third of the way through the season) and switch to [I]Tribunal Justice[/I]. The third [I]Tribunal Justice[/I] episode has started strong. Since[ISPOILER] both cases were dismissed[/ISPOILER], they also serve as a reminder that a satisfying outcome isn't dependent on an award.

How can people even continue getting away with this in the 21st Century?) The second episode was a complete winner.
