<span class="RACopyBody">A production company spokesman says former Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a deal to make a pilot for a reality courtroom TV show.</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">Warm Springs Productions spokesman Howard Bragman said Tuesday that the company will use the pilot to try to find a buyer to air the show five days a week starting in fall 2017.</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">Bragman says Palin is a natural for the role because she’s telegenic and not afraid to give her opinion. She has no legal training.</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">The Montana-based production company specializes in outdoors shows and programming for the National Rifle Association. This would be its first reality courtroom show.</span>
