I often watch the series"JUDGE JUDY", and wonder if what is said at the beginning that... she really is a real life judge is in actual fact TRUE!! Only, I admire such a person very much indeed!!
If I had a friend such as herself... I can imagine what great discussions/debates we would have. She is a lady very much after my own heart. But... I guess she isn't real!!
Your comments please.

She's real, alright! Quite a lady, isn't she! Read on for more details.
Judge Judy is an American syndicated judicial show. The program premiered in 1996 and remained the only courtroom show on television in the United States since The People's Court ended its first run in 1993, and until that series returned with Ed Koch as judge in 1997. The return of The People's Court, as well as an influx of other judge shows, such as Judge Mathis, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Alex and Judge Hatchett, are largely seen as a result of Judge Judy's success. The show has been renewed through the 2009/2010 season. Judge Judy is currently in her 11th season which started on September 11, 2006. Each show is introduced by announcer Jerry Bishop with the statement: You are about to enter the courtroom of Judge Judith Sheindlin. The people are real. The cases are real. The rulings are final. This is Judge Judy.
The show features the former family court judge Judith Sheindlin, Esq., as an arbitrator hearing small claims cases with an award limit of US$5,000, the maximum in most U.S. states. She is notorious for berating litigants for the bad choices they make in their lives. Through cross-examination, she frequently exposes the lies the litigants tell and humiliates them for doing so.

Alice, as an oldie of 71 of course I have given this subject considerable thought. If my life ever becomes so unbearable or undignified that I would rather be dead than continue to live it, then I shall suicide. euthanasia would be a far nicer option. I don't care about legalities, it is no-body's life but MINE and only I will decide when is the time to end it, not some politician or policeman. I would like to see euthanasia introduced here in Australia [with safeguards built in of course], because it will avoid some poor ambulanceman or fireman having to hose up the mess from the pavement after I've jumped from a great height. I hope it never comes to that. I have "do not resuscitate" tattooed over my left nipple. Because I do not want well-intentioned medical practitioners turning me into a vegetable either. It angers me that I have to think like this. Politicians are too scared of doo-gooders voting against them. I suspect that if a referendum was held here in Australia the voting on the subject would be pretty close and could go either way. Me? I'm for it. Ron

she is for real and her husband is too
he was the Judge on Peoples Court between Judge Wapner and
Judge Marilyn Milian
I sometimes get a kick out of Judge Judy but sometimes she is stupid and ignorant and rude. Unfortunately she thinks she knows everything and since she doesn't and thinks she does she favors the wrong person. Like one time a mechanic said he fixed the ladies bell housing and Judge Judy kept yelling at him that he was in the wrong because he didn't fix the transmission.
She wouldn't even give him the chance to explain that the bell housing is part of the transmission.
That is just one of her many blunders of when she says she knows everything and she doesn't

She is a retired judge. Was on the bench in Los Angeles for 25 years if I remember right. This show was a great idea, the cases she hears are all civil and if you noticed, $500 maximum. Both parties agree for her to mediate their problem. It does keep these type of trivial disputes out of actual court, bogging them down with totally dumb@zz cases. Both parties do receive a small renumeration. Her decisions are final, like the moderator says. No attorneys are allowed to represent either party.

Yes she is/was a real judge in America although I expect she's getting on abit in age so prehaps she's now retired, she's firm but fair, the episodes they are showing in the UK look like they are years old though.

Yes, she is real and served as a judge in New York I believe. She's married to another judge who also has his own "judge" show - can't remember his name though. She is great, I love her spunk.

She was a family court judge but no longer. She makes more money on the radio.
