Does anyone watch the ITV2 programme (on weekdays) called: JUDGE JUDY?
Judy Scheindlen (if that is the correct spelling) is a highly outspoken Jewish judge from New York now working in the courts in California. She has 30 years experince in the family courts but now works as a judge in the equivalent of the English small claims court, dealing with civil disputes. These are often neighbour disputes.
Some of the people before her are prime examples of how not to behave. Quite often it is both parties at fault, which is why the dispute continues to escalate. It is clear that some people get addicted to disputes, as if they were a drug.
Judge Judy will stand absolutely no nonsense and will give anyone short shrift if they have not behaved in an unimpeachable manner, particularly when they fail to recognise their behaviour is not tolerable. This often means that both parties get the benefit of her not inconsiderable tongue.
The programme is well worth watching just to count how many times Judge Judy claims that she is "really smart" or the people before her are "stupid"! What amazes me is the ridiculous cases some people bring before the courts. In these cases Judge Judy usually says 'GET A LIFE' before immediately storming out of the courtroom!
