Former US Chief Judge, Frank Caprio, renowned worldwide as ‘The Nicest Judge in the World,’ during the main session of the International Government Communication Forum (IGCF-2023) taking place at Sharjah Expo Centre, said “The UAE is the largest base that follows my hearings on social media platforms.”

Caprio's illustrious career began as a teacher at Hope High School in the city of Providence, Rhode Island. While teaching during the day and despite holding a bachelor's degree from Providence College, he embarked on an ambitious journey, attending night school at the Suffolk University School of Law in Boston to gain his law degree. Upon successfully completing his studies, he began his career in the legal profession, eventually finding his way to the municipal court of Providence.

It was here that he garnered both local and international acclaim, thanks in large part to his televised judicial work on the widely-watched programme, 'Caught in Providence,' which has a total viewership on its Youtube page of over 500 million views.

Hosting the former Chief Judge at the forum aligns with the IGCF’s commitment to spotlighting individuals who have made a transformative impact on their communities. Judge Caprio's reputation and global recognition skyrocketed through the power of social media, as videos capturing his courtroom proceedings resonated far and wide.

Judge Caprio’s commitment to delivering compassionate rulings and his genuine understanding of the circumstances faced by those who stood before him have elevated him to the status of a revered figure in the world of jurisprudence. His unconventional yet deeply empathetic approach has left an indelible mark on society, and he is affectionately known as the ‘Nicest Judge in the World' by his global following.
