Episode Synopsis

To mark the 100th Anniversary of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team recreate this landmark case.

The iconic case tested the legal boundaries in teaching science versus religion, and, ultimately, the limits of government control over the classroom.
