Marilyn Milian (born May 1, 1961) is an American television personality, lecturer, and retired Florida Circuit Court judge who presides over the American courtroom television series The People's Court.
She is the first Hispanic arbitrator to preside over a court show.
By the end of the show's 28th season (2012–13), Milian had completed twelve-and-a-half seasons presiding over The People's Court, making her the longest-presiding arbitrator on the series.
Early life
Milian was born in Manhattan to Cuban parents Jorge, a general contractor, and Georgina Milian. She spoke Spanish before learning English and is fluent in both languages. The family moved from Astoria, Queens, to Miami when she was eight years old. She graduated from St. Brendan High School.
Milian earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Miami. She then attended Georgetown University Law Center, earning her J.D. She spent a year working at Harvard Law School, where she served as director of training for the Guatemala Project. She was responsible for training the Guatemalan trial judiciary, defense, and prosecution bar in investigatory and trial techniques.
Personal life
Milian is married to John Schlesinger, a former assistant United States attorney who was elected to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Florida, the same position that Milian held before retiring to host The People's Court. They live in Coral Gables, Florida with their three children. She travels to Stamford, Connecticut, bimonthly for three days of taping of The People's Court.
Milian is the spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Safe Online Surfing (FBI-SOS) campaign. In 2019, she appeared on the daytime version of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?, winning $5,000 for Camp Fiesta, a Florida summer camp that is free for children with cancer.
Career
Janet Reno, then the county's state attorney, was named assistant state attorney for the Dade County State Attorney's Office. She spent ten years in that position before heading to the Miami County Court, where she served in the domestic violence, criminal, and civil divisions. Governor Jeb Bush appointed Milian to the Miami Circuit Court in 1999, where she served in the Criminal Division. In 2001, she succeeded Jerry Sheindlin as the judge of The People's Court and became the first Hispanic judge on any English-language television court show. Milian is listed as an adjunct faculty member of the University of Miami School of Law, teaching litigation skills.
In the second year of the People's Court, the first arbitration-based reality court display and the second-longest running court show in history, Milian serves as the presiding judge. Milian has been presiding over the program since spring 2001, which was late in The People's Court's 17th season (or the fourth season of the revived version of the program).
Several arbitrators have appeared in the People's Court, with Milian currently retaining the title of the longest-serving arbitrator in the series. Milian had served twelve and a half seasons as the program's longest-serving judge on The People's Court by the end of its 28th season (2012–2013). Joseph Wapner, the show's original judge, was the previous holder of this record. She served as a presiding judge over the program by 2021, with 2021 as the program's founder.
Milian is considerably more animated in her position than previous ones in the People's Court, but she is also known for her being thorough and logical in her observations and treatment of the lawsuits. Milian also dishes out a well-natured, vivacious sass at the litigants, but does not accept any disrespect from them.
Milian explains that the court show genre is enthralling for Americans: "We are a fast-food nation." People like to see resolution, they like to watch someone who has done wrong confronted and see justice prevail — all in a hurry.
Milian was portrayed by Cecily Strong in a Saturday Night Live parody of The People's Court, where she presided over a lawsuit involving President Donald Trump and three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
