Scales of Justice

Scales of Justice was a Canadian series of docudrama television films, which aired on CBC Television between 1991 and 1995. Based on an earlier CBC Radio series of the same name, the films dramatized notable Canadian court cases, with actors reenacting the real-life events of the trial. The series was produced by George Jonas, with lawyer Edward Greenspan involved in the production as narrator and legal consultant, while episodes were co-written by Jonas with a variety of collaborators and directed by a variety of Canadian filmmakers. Episodes of the series were either one hour or two hours, depending on the complexity of the case being depicted. The series was cancelled in 1995.
