Known as the Lola-coaster, Judge Lola Carmichael always shakes things up in her courtroom. While she believes in justice, sometimes her ideas are different than other people's.

Since she was a victim of a racial and hate crime, she works hard to keep her issues outside of the courtroom.

She and her husband, Robin, recently had a baby girl, and their marriage was strong until her college boyfriend, Andre, returned.
