One of the core ideas of the original Night Court, which it inherited from Barney Miller, was to bring New York’s weirdo characters into the squad room/courtroom every week. They served as a snapshot of what was going on in Manhattan at the time. So far, this iteration of Night Court treats the trials and defendants as disposable and makes no effort to make them part of the fabric of the show.
