Chris Rock:



Note: For the record, Judge Judy is not an actual judge.
Wrong again!
From the JudgeJudy site Bio:
Smart, savvy and opinionated, the irrepressible Judge Judith Sheindlin holds court as presiding judge over real-life cases on the highly successful courtroom series JUDGE JUDY. Having made a name for herself as a tough but fair judge in New York's Family Court, Judge Judith Sheindlin retired from the bench in 1996 and segued into television to host the syndicated series, whose ninth season premiers on Monday, September 13, 2004. Judge Judith Sheindlin brings her trademark wit and wisdom to the widely successful half-hour series that takes viewers inside a television courtroom where justice is dispensed at lightning speed.

Judge Judith Sheindlin's career in family court began in 1972 prosecuting juvenile delinquency cases for the state of New York. Though it was an emotionally taxing job, Judge Judith Sheindlin knew right away she had found her calling, quickly developing a reputation as a sharp, no-nonsense lawyer. In 1982, New York's then-Mayor, Edward Koch, appointed Judge Judith Sheindlin to the bench as a Judge in the Family Court.
Once a judge, always a judge.

You didn't answer the question, though: "Do you actually need the Supreme Court for that one?"

Be careful how you answer. I already know what Chris Rock has to say.


Rmet: What do you mean by "Once a Judge, always a Judge?" Do you mean her courtroom is an actual court, rather than a television studio? Or that her decisions are legally binding?

Or do you mean she used to be a judge, the name of her show is "Judge Judy," and people call her "judge" on her TV show?

:rolleyes: She is a retired judge, can't you read? Retired judges often continue their role after their retirement, sometimes being used for trials, there have been some high profile cases with retired judges, they are often employed as mediators or in arbitrators. When the litigants agree to appear on a TV court show, they agree to dismiss their cases in their local jurisdiction and agree to follow the judges decision, as in arbitration, their transortation and judgements are paid by the show, the judge uses the Rules from their jurisdiction.

next some idiot is gonna say judge Joe Brown isn't a real judge ;)
They did a feature story on him and his no nonesense court on a national show, that is what got the attention of Judge Judy's producers and he became a star. He continued as a Judge in Memphis the first 2 years of filming his show then he retired. His court room is across the hall from Judge Judy.
