Judge Mablean Ephriam

Judge Mablean Ephriam was born to Robert and Mable Ephriam in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.

In anticipation of her future in law, Judge Mablean began her employment career as a Correctional Officer for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the Women’s Prison at Terminal Island, San Pedro, California. After about two years, she took a job as a legal secretary in the Law Offices of Eric Parkan, Beverly Hills, California. There, she became skillful in preparing documents for civil litigation and workers’ compensation and gained further practical skills that would be helpful to her in her ultimate career as a lawyer. In October of 1998, Twentieth Television selected her to judge on the newly, revised half hour syndicated show “Divorce Court”, where there was no script, nor actors, just real cases and real litigants with Judge Mablean rendering legally-binding decisions. Thus, the beginning of her career in entertainment. Judge Mablean presided as the Judge on Divorce Court for seven seasons, (1999-2006).

Additionally, she is working on the mission of her nonprofit foundation, The Mablean Ephriam Foundation, to build stronger families, educate minds, increase economic power among disadvantaged and lower economic persons and thus create better communities. She is the co-owner of Jubilane Guest House, a Bed & Breakfast in Johannesburg, South Africa; and founder of an awards program, Honoring Unsung Fathers (H. U. F.) Scholarship and Awards, through her non-profit, the Mablean Ephriam Foundation.
