Likewise, defendants respond to those complaints, explaining why they dispute the claims against them. The judge, be it Judy or the circuit court judge or court commissioner you get in real life, then weighs the legal merit of each side before ruling.
In a real small claims court, judges will hear both sides, relying on each to deliver the salient points of a dispute. But Judge Judy largely goes off the contents of a brief complaint and uses the courtroom time to fire questions, cutting off and controlling the testimony—all to the amusement of viewers.
In real life, judges or commissioners are far more respectful, less dominating and, frankly, a lot less entertaining. Judge Judy is actually a retired judge serving as an arbitrator, rendering decisions as opposed to legal judgments. You might wonder — how, after so many years on air, does Judge Judy still manage to get willing participants for the show?
Why would anyone run the risk of international TV humiliation and a public dressing down when you could tend to the matter in the relative privacy of a small claims court? For new customers. The Court has correctly rejected this meritless argument. CBS and Judy have intentionally ignored the rights of the profit participants that made their success possible. That behavior will not be tolerated. Having been pushed from its original May 10 date to today, the virtual hearing did not set a trial date in the matter, though that could come soon-ish, I hear.
We think Judge Judy has certainly provided enough quality entertainment to earn her an easy work week. She probably could have taken the last few years off and still earned it, to be honest. Is Judge Judy a Real Judge? You Better Believe It!
