Judy Sheindlin single-handedly reinvented the courtroom genre and in the process became a genuine pop culture phenomenon. A former New York family court judge known for her ability to cut through a dispute and get to the core of the emotional issue at hand, Judge Judy acts as a true moral compass for people seeking guidance, resolution, and a little common sense in their often complicated lives. Judge Judy's goal is to make a permanent and worthwhile impression that will discourage repeat offenders and help heal families and victims of injustice. There are many imitators but only one Judge Judy!
