Swift Justice with Jackie Glass (also known simply as Swift Justice and previously known as Swift Justice with Nancy Grace) is an

binding arbitration

.

Swift Justice had a different format from other court shows such as Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, Divorce Court, and Judge Joe Brown.

In the first season when Nancy Grace was the adjudicator, the usual "panel/seal/bench" setting of a traditional court show was not used, as the show used a more modern setting, including an open lectern where Grace stood rather than sat, a large projection display in the studio, and a set mainly fitted with brightly colored backgrounds, with no bar separating the audience gallery (who sat in the round along the edges of the set) from the litigants.

In the first season, the program used elements to allow on side or the other to prove their case such as handwriting, blood spatter exams, and two of the other elements used on Swift Justice were elements used on tabloid talk shows such as The Steve Wilkos Show and Maury which are DNA tests and lie detector tests.

Like most court shows, Swift Justice aired on TV stations affiliated with

FOX, MyNetworkTV, The CW, and scattered on ABC, NBC, and CBS

affiliates in smaller markets.

In the first season, the program was shot at the studios of

Sunset Bronson Studios in Hollywood, California

, forcing Grace to commute to Los Angeles for cases.

On May 24, 2011, it was announced that Jackie Glass, known for presiding over the

Polycom and Skype

video from litigant's homes to adjudicate some cases via webcam to reduce travel costs, was also dropped for the second season.

Swift Justice was cancelled due to low ratings near the end of the second season. The final original episode aired on April 25, 2012, with repeats continuing until September 2012.

Swift Justice was also available on a free streaming service called Pluto TV from April 2021 to March 2023.

Until 2023 Swift Justice aired on Ion Mystery.
