Best Answer

Judith Scheindlin, Judge Judy, was not 'bounced' from the bench. In 1996, after 10 years as prosecutor in New York City family court and 13 years as a judge hearing over 20,000 cases, Sheindlin retired. Judge Judy was highly respected while she served and came to national attention in February 1993, when she was profiled in the Los Angeles Times as a hard-hitting legal super-heroine, determined to make the courts work for the common good. That same year, the TV news magazine 60 Minutes did an episode about her. By the time she retired she had also written her first book and was a nationally known figure.
