Edgar Allen Jones was cast as the judge on KABC-TV’s 'Traffic Court,' one of the medium’s earliest nonfiction courtroom shows. He was such a hit that he was soon elevated to network TV as the judge on the ABC shows 'Day in Court' and 'Accused.' Jones kept his day job at UCLA during the six years he presided over the televised mock courts.
