Jümme – deep down in East Frisia, jokes are as flat as the landscape and life usually goes its peaceful way. But when the local district court comes together, things turn from good to bad. Jümme becomes the site of turmoil and fury. When East Frisians argue, feelings run high.

The only one who can smooth out the ruffled feathers is Judge Henrik Jansen. With a lot of skill, intuition and humour, he reconciles the disagreeing parties and delivers fair judgment. Quite often, he visits the place of dispute in person to form his opinion and many a case has taken an unexpected turn this way.
