Twentieth Television, which this season launched the court show Judge Alex to respectable ratings, said Tuesday that it is developing two more first-run court strips targeted to launch in the 2006-07 season. One of the shows features Cristina Perez, who presides over cases on Telemundo's court show La Corte de Familia (Family Court) and is shooting an English-language pilot this month. That project is being developed by syndication veteran Peter Brennan, who launched the court shows Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown and most recently executive produced Twentieth's revival of the newsmagazine A Current Affair. The other show features Lynn Toler, a former Cleveland Heights Municipal Court judge and litigation attorney specializing in civil matters. Her relationship with Twentieth extends to 2001, when she hosted its court show Power of Attorney.
