Al D'Amato is going from the Senate chamber to the judge's chamber.
D'Amato, the former US Senator from New York, will shoot a court show pilot for Twentieth Television called "Judge D'Amato."
A rep for D'Amato described the show as a "Judge Judy"-type court show, in which D'Amato, who'll wear a judge's robe, will preside over small-claims cases.
The half-hour syndicated show is set to be shot in LA, and would air in Fall 2009 if picked up as a series.
