Adam Levy, son of renowned television personality Judge Judith "Judy" Sheindlin, is set to launch his own daytime courtroom series, "Adam's Law," on September 14. Levy, who previously served as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, intends for the show to highlight his legal expertise rather than capitalize on his "nepo baby" status.

Ahead of the premiere, Levy expressed strong criticism of New York City's approach to crime, describing it as "soft-on-crime" and concerning since 2016. He specifically targeted lawmakers, judges, and prosecutors, including New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg, for what he perceives as a failure to protect victims and an overemphasis on leniency towards suspects.

"All [the politicians] are doing is putting all those good hardworking people — taking the subway every day, being out on the streets at night going to whatever jobs just to put food on the table — is making less safe for them," Levy stated in an interview with The Post. He characterized the situation as "absolute insanity" and predicted that conditions would not improve until they worsen.

Levy's new show, "Adam's Law," will feature him presiding over small claims cases, a departure from his mother's iconic "Judge Judy" series. While acknowledging the significant legacy of his mother's show, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, Levy emphasized his intention to establish his own judicial style. He plans a more methodical approach, dedicating considerable time to reviewing evidence before each proceeding, a process he contrasts with the quicker preparation methods he says some judges employ.

"We get to the bottom [of an issue]. We get to the truth. That's what's important," Levy said of his investigative approach. He noted that while he respects his mother's advice, he and Sheindlin sometimes disagree on how cases should be handled, indicating his independent judgment.

Levy's path to television law was influenced by his mother's career as a prosecutor and supervising judge in New York City Family Court. He recalled wanting to be a lawyer since fourth grade, even dressing as a lawyer for Halloween as a child, an experience that he said contributed to his developing resilience.

"Adam's Law" is produced by CBS Media Ventures and Queen Bee Productions. Levy's approach aims to uncover the truth in disputes ranging from family disagreements to landlord-tenant issues, concluding his judgments with the admonition, "Do better."

Levy also shared personal advice from his wife, Lori, and his mother regarding his career. His wife told him, "There's no one better at it" when it comes to trying cases, while his mother's direct advice for the new show was, "Don't screw this up!" Levy also adheres to a family belief in karma, or "cosmic dust," where doing the right thing leads to positive outcomes.
