Malick previously talked about how the unstable Julianne could practice law.

Our Take On The Night Court Season 3 Returns
Jake Is The One To Watch
Along with the storylines that await Gurgs (Lacretta) and Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi Nyambi), showrunner Dan Rubin and the rest of theNight Courtteam have an opportunity to make a change with Hansen’s return. Judge Abby Stone has so far been unlucky in love. Even with the connection to Fielding, however, perhaps Jake could be the one to stick around after a string of romantic disappointments.
