Judge Judy Episodes 9973 Best Amazing Cases Season 2024

Judy Sheindlin (born October 21, 1942, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.) American jurist and television personality who was best known for the show Judge Judy (1996–2021).

Blum earned (1963) a Bachelor of Arts degree from American University, Washington, D.C. She was the only woman in her graduating class at New York Law School, New York City, when she earned a J.D. in 1965; she passed the bar the same year. She was married by that time, and, though she entered private practice, she soon left it to devote her time to raising her two children. Her first marriage ended in divorce, and in 1977 she married Gerald Sheindlin, a fellow lawyer who later became a judge of New York state’s Supreme Court.

Sheindlin took a position in 1972 as a prosecuting attorney in New York City’s family court. Her outspoken and forthright approach to her cases caught the eye of Ed Koch, then mayor of New York City, and in 1982 he appointed her a judge in the Bronx branch of the family court. The caseload in the court was extremely large, and she gained a reputation for handling her cases with discernment and dispatch. In 1986 Sheindlin was promoted to supervising judge in the family court’s Manhattan branch, a position she held for 10 years. Her blunt manner won her favourable attention, and in 1993 she was featured on the TV newsmagazine show 60 Minutes.https://www.britannica.com/biography/Judy-Sheindlin
