Overview
To mark the 100th Anniversary of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, Judge Judy Sheindlin and her expert legal team recreate this landmark case. In 1925, John Scopes challenged a Tennessee law prohibiting the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution. The iconic case tested the legal boundaries in teaching science versus religion, and, ultimately, the limits of government control over the classroom.
