Though she ever attended law school, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may soon be in control of her own courtroom in a new reality television show.

Producers tell @ABC the @SarahPalinUSA show is not sold yet & the deal is a production deal, but it's described like a Judge Judy-type show.— Shushannah Walshe (@Shushannah Walshe) 1458672145.0
According to People, Palin — the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee who has endorsed GOP front-runner Donald Trump for president in 2016 — signed the deal in February with Montana-based production company Warm Springs. The company reportedly first approached Palin with the idea of her own courtroom show last year.
Warm Spring producers said they chose Palin over a wide array of other candidates because of her "telegenic personality."
"Palin's telegenic personality, wide appeal and common sense wisdom make her a natural for this kind of format," producers told People, adding that "she was Warm Springs' top pick for this project."
If the company decides to move forward with the deal, the show would be nationally syndicated with a fall 2017 debut.
Meanwhile, producers confirmed that the show has not yet been given a name, but that didn't stop Twitter from throwing out suggestions:
