Happy 71st birthday to Judge Judy Sheinlin on October 21st. Judge Judy is a real judge with her own long running court show. Judy has attitude and has now problems telling an idiot he or she is an idiot.
Born in Brooklyn Judy was educated at Washington College of Law and passed the New York State bar in 1965. She started her law career as a corporate lawyer for a cosmetics firm but found it less than satisfying and left her job to raise her kids. She did go back into law as a prosecutor for the New York Family Court. Mayor Ed Koch liked her no-nonsense style and made her a criminal court judge where she was considered a tough judge.
In 1996 Judge Judy retired from the state courts and in that year she also started her syndicated court show. She has gone on to dole out verdicts and sage advise ever sense. When asked how long she would do the show she replied as long as she could.
Happy Birthday Judge Judy!
