Marilyn Lucille Milian (born May 1, 1961) is an American television personality, lecturer, and retired FloridaCircuit Courtjudge who presides over the American courtroom television series The People's Court. She is the first Hispanic arbitrator to preside over a court show.[1]
Milian became the presiding judge on The People’s Court during the current edition's fourth season in 2001, replacing Jerry Sheindlin, and has been with the program ever since; she surpassed Joseph Wapner, the original presiding arbitrator, during the 2012–13 season as the longest serving judge across the entire history of the series.[1]
Early life[edit]
Milian was born in Manhattan to Cuban parents Jorge, a general contractor,[2] and Georgina Milian.[3][4] She is fluent in English and Spanish.[5] The family moved from Astoria, Queens, to Miami when she was eight years old. She graduated from St. Brendan High School.[3]
Milian earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Miami. She then attended Georgetown University Law Center, earning her J.D.[4] 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.[4]
Career[edit]
Legal career[edit]
Milian was appointed assistant state attorney for the Dade County State Attorney's Office by Janet Reno, who was then the county's state attorney. After ten years in that position, she then worked for the Miami County Court, serving in the domestic violence, criminal, and civil divisions.[4] In 1999, Florida governor Jeb Bush appointed Milian to the Miami Circuit Court, where she served in the Criminal Division.[4][6] In 2001, she replaced Jerry Sheindlin as 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.[7]
The People's Court[edit]
Milian serves as presiding judge in the second life of the courtroom show The People's Court, the first arbitration-based reality court show and the second-longest running court show in history. Milian has presided over the program since spring 2001, which was late in The People's Court's 17th season (or fourth season of the revived version of the show).
The People's Court has featured several arbitrators, with Milian currently holding the title of the longest-presiding arbitrator over the series. By completion of the show's 28th season (2012–13), Milian had completed twelve and a half seasons presiding over the program, officially making her the longest-running judge on The People's Court. Joseph Wapner, the show's original judge, was the previous holder of this record.
In contrast to The People's Court's previous arbiters, Milian is considerably more animated in her role,[8] but she's also known for being levelheaded and logical in her observations and handling of the cases.[8][9] Although engaging for the most part,[10] Milian also dishes out a good-natured, lively sass at the litigants and does not tolerate any disrespect from them.[1][11]
Milian explains Americans' fascination with the court show genre: 'We are a fast-food nation. People love to see resolution, they want to watch someone who has done wrong confronted and see justice prevail … all in an hour.'[12]
Milian was portrayed by Cecily Strong in a 2017 Saturday Night Live parody of The People's Court where she presided over a case between President Donald Trump and three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Milian is married to John Schlesinger, a former assistant United States attorney, who in 2004 was elected to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Florida, the same position that Milian held before retiring to 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 FBI's Safe Online Surfing (FBI-SOS)[14] campaign.

Who Did Christina Milian Marry A Man
Who Did Christina Milian Married
Round two! Christina Milian gave birth to her second child, welcoming her first with her boyfriend, Matt Pokora, on Monday, January 20.
“And so we begin,’ Milian, 38, wrote on Instagram on Monday, uploading a photo of her newborn gripping her finger. “Isaiah 1/20/20 Simply perfect. The world is yours Son. Love, Mom & Dad.”

The Falling Inn Love star announced in July that she was pregnant with baby No. 2 after welcoming daughter Violet, now 9, with her ex-husband, Terius Youngdell Nash, also known as The Dream, in 2010. “New release 2020,” the “Dip it Low” singer captioned her baby bump debut at the time. “What a blessing! Let’s do this babe @mattpokora.”
The French songwriter, 34, shared the same picture, writing, “Legacy on the way. #Happyman.”
While Pokora was traveling for work during some of Milian’s pregnancy, she played his music on her budding belly, she told Us Weekly exclusively in September. “I’m reminding the baby of his dad’s voice,” the New Jersey native explained. “It’s nice for a boy to have that masculine touch of melody running through his head. … His dad is gonna be on tour this year, so we’re going to go on tour with him.”
The actress and Pokora were struggling to pick a name for their baby-to-be at the time. “We still haven’t come across anything that we love,” Milian admitted to Us. “We’re, like, definitely back and forth on that one because French accents and English accents don’t sound the same on names. I didn’t care about that, but that’s his thing. I guess in French some things don’t sound as good. So that’s the only thing that gets in the way of finding a name.”
She added, “I’m getting to the point where I’m just going to let him do it. ‘You just come up with the name.’ I’ll just disagree until I agree.”
The Grandfathered alum started dating Pokora in August 2017 and wants to “someday” marry him — but not anytime soon. “It’s not, like, in the near future,” Milian revealed to Us in September. “It’s not, like, the first thing on my checklist. But I am not opposed to it at all.”
