'House' man making 'Courtroom' drama

Hugh Laure in 'House'

House executive producer Paul Attanasio is working on a comedic drama set in a court.

Fox has ordered a one-hour pilot of Courtroom K, which is described as having a dark humour similar to House.

The show revolves around a judge, prosecutor and public defender at Milwaukee Superior Court.

Attanasio's other creations include the '90s crime drama Homicide: Life on the Street.
