by Tori Hartshorn - Mar 25, 2019
According to Deadline, Tony winners Lindsay Mendez and Ruthie Ann Miles have both signed on to join the new drama pilot COURTHOUSE on CBS. Both are series regulars. Deadline shares that 'Mendez will play Sara, an ebullient, optimistic court reporter who has surprising hidden talents. A close friend to Emily, Sara hosts the Courthouse poker games and is a reliable source for gossip and courthouse intel. Miles will portray Sherri. As Lola's Judicial Assistant, Sherri is The Gatekeeper; she controls the schedule, the witness lists, the flow of paperwork — everything. She can make defendants sit in the lockup and wait all day for the next appearance, or she can find a way to get them in and out before her morning coffee gets cold. Efficient, pragmatic and armed with wickedly dry sense of humor, Sherri isn't thrilled she has to “train” Lola (Simone Missick) — a rookie judge.'
