Judge Judy

Have you seen some of the behavior Judge Judy displays towards her litigants? It's absolutely outrageous! Not to mention there are serious ethical & moral issues with a judge who gets paid $30 million dollars a year to conduct an "entertaining" courtroom experience and a show who's producers coax litigants to appear by paying them off and promising to cover their costs.... at the very least you realize the serious conflict of interest in her awarding plaintiffs a money judgement since that money will directly come out of the pocket of her employers!! The whole thing is ridiculous and sad that this gets passed off as judicial process.

Judge Wapner put it very well:

Joseph Wapner criticized Judge Judy's courtroom behavior, stating, "She is not portraying a judge as I view a judge should act. Judge Judy is discourteous, and she's abrasive. She's not slightly insulting. She's insulting in capital letters... She is a disgrace to the profession. She does things I don't think a judge should do. She tells people to shut up. She's rude. She's arrogant. She demeans people. If she does this on purpose, then that's even worse. Judges need to observe certain standards of conduct. She just doesn't do it and I resent that. The public is apt to gain the impression that this is how actual judges conduct themselves..."
