Catherine Jean Crier (born November 6, 1954) is an American television personality and a former district court judge.
Crier was born in Dallas, Texas in 1954 to William and Ann Crier and has two sisters. Crier graduated from Richardson High School and University of Texas at Austin, from which she earned Bachelor of Arts in political science and international affairs. In college, she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. She received her Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.
From 1978 to 1981, Crier was an Assistant District Attorney and Felony Chief Prosecutor for the Dallas County District Attorney's office, and from 1982 to 1984, she was a civil litigation attorney in Dallas. She subsequently became the youngest elected state judge in Texas history at age thirty and served as a Texas State District Judge for the 162nd District Court in Dallas County.
Crier began her TV career at CNN in 1989, where she co-anchored the programs Inside Politics ‘92 and The World Today. In 1992, ABC News hired her as a correspondent for ABC World News Tonight and the newsmagazine 20/20. After spending three and a half years with ABC News, Fox News Channel hired her to anchor The Crier Report, a live, nightly talk show. In 2000, Crier joined Court TV as host of Crier Today, a daily show concerning legal news, and in 2001, launched a new show, Catherine Crier Live. Catherine Crier Live ran for six years until it was cancelled on April 27, 2007.
Aside from her TV work, she has authored several non-fiction books. Crier appeared in the 2006 Robin Williams film Man of the Year in which her role was that of Political Commentator #2 but was credited with the name of Cathleen Crier.
