She was a judge, but she retired. She is now a arbitrator, deciding legal cases that otherwise might have been settled in Civil Court. Other than returning misappropriated property, litigants on her TV show are not legally responsible for monetary awards she orders, as these are paid by the show.

Judge Judy (Judith Scheindlin) retired from public service in 1996, after 14 years, presiding over 20,000 cases as a judge in New York City. She is still a qualified attorney in the State of New York.

Is it a real show? lol..I sued the real kramer, Kenny Kramer on Judge Judy in California. I was paid airfare and costs to stay and go to L.A.. Our case as partially fixed. i was approached by a judge judy research person in nyc small claims court. i was told if i filed suit , it would be on judge judy. Kenny Kramer was supposed to do a benefit for the non profit of my choice. he never did that. After the show I was snubbed and not even given a video tape.

My suit brought the largest audience i was told of any Judge Judy show. I only got $3000 for expenses.

How long has Judge Judy been on television?

No Judge Judy was Not the first real judge on TV to try cases. There was the judge on the TV show; Divorce Court and the judge on the People's Court. Back in the 1950s, there were probably a lot of cheap shows, with real judges trying cases on TV, because the networks are always interested in programs that don't cost a lot of money and bring in the ratings. I doubt if Judge Judy is even the first woman judge to have her own tv show. TV has been around since the end of the 1940s. There have been a lot of shows that have aired in the last 60 years.
