Judge Rinder is a British arbitration-based reality court show that aired on ITV from 11 August 2014 to 14 October 2020, with repeats continuing until 24 September 2021.{{cite web|url=https://tv24.co.uk/channel/itv1-london/2021-09-24|title=ITV1 London, Friday, Sep 24, 2021 Schedules TV24.co.uk}} The show depicts Robert Rinder as an arbitrator overseeing civil cases. Rinder began his career in criminal law in 2003. He is a barrister and wears his barrister robes while on the show, but does not wear the wig as is customary in the judiciary.{{cite web |url=https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/about-the-judiciary/who-are-the-judiciary/list-of-members-of-the-judiciary/|title=List of members of the courts judiciary|publisher=Courts and Tribunals Judiciary|access-date=17 April 2018}}{{cite web|title=Exclusive interview: Judge Rinder on life as Britain's newest reality TV star|url=http://www.legalcheek.com/2014/08/exclusive-interview-judge-rinder-on-life-as-britains-newest-reality-tv-star/|website=legalcheek.com|date=15 August 2014 |publisher=Legal Cheek|access-date=15 August 2014}} Rinder is a practising criminal barrister at 2 Hare Court Chambers in London and this is made clear on the show. As with other related court shows that inspired it, such as Judge Judy, Judge Mathis and The People's Court, any awards handed down by Rinder are paid by the production company rather than the loser.{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-11-25/judge-rinder-filming-location-court-room/|title=Where is Judge Rinder filmed and how does it work?|publisher=Radio Times|access-date=2020-07-28}}
