Is this a correct sentence?
Why would you want to be tried with this judge? She's nor lenient.

Many thanks

Yes it is correct. The second sentence has the pronoun "she" which is referring back to 'this' particular judge. The verb 'to be tried' is a legal term.

Hi,

The usual pronoun is 'tried by'.

Why would you want to be tried by this judge?
