>>SonyPictures television executives hope that Lopez's fiery personality, which flared periodically during her 15 years on the bench in Massachusetts, will set her apart from the pack of court TV shows like Judge Judy and People's Court.
"My style is very different," said Lopez, whose outspokenness -- some would say temper -- put her in the headlines, and sometimes on the hot seat, in Massachusetts.
Lopez's bench manner and sex appeal appear well-suited for her TV role. A big hit could be in the making for the budding personality.
