Judge Sheindlin's Response To The Success Of Judge Judy

Decent Essays
Placed among one of the “100 Most Trusted Americans” according to a 2013 Reader’s Digest Survey, Judy Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, brought a fresh face and hard-hitting courtroom tactics to the court show genre with the premiere of Judge Judy in 1996. Today, Judge Judy is still going strong — 10 million viewers tune in daily to her syndicated show, and she’s not slowing down any time soon. (In 2013, she extended her Judge Judy contract through 2017.)

In addition to her television success, Judge Sheindlin is also an accomplished author, having penned three books: the straight-talking Don't Pee On My Leg, and Tell Me It's Raining, the New York Times best seller Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever: The Making of a Happy Woman, and a parenting

    Each court case detailed by Krakauer, in my opinion, can be seen as intergroup conflict in which the larger community in-group such as government officials such as Kirsten Pabst, and Grizzly fans try to legitimize their claims against the “out group” of sexual assault victims and their victim advocates in order to threaten the out group’s validity and distinctiveness (Tajfel & Turner 1985). One instance where this group-divide is present both before and after the proceedings is in the case of Kelsey Belnap. After agreeing to hang out with her friend Betsey Fremont, Belnap is immediately put in an awkward situation where she is at a party of people she doesn’t know, and doesn’t feel comfortable with. Even though she was apprehensive, Belnap…

    While watching Senator Lindsey Graham question Judge Sotomayor, I felt as though even though he said that he liked her as a person some of the questions and statements he said to her was pretty harsh. The first thing that I thought he said that was inappropriate was when he asked her about the Constitution and the 1st trimester abortion, I thought that was out of line because everyone have their own opinion about abortion depending on what they believe in, and they shouldn’t be judge for that. The next thing that I thought was inappropriate was when he was talking to her about how more women and minorities were going to start getting more involved and change the laws. Just because more minorities and women are going to be involved don’t meant that they will change anything. The last thing that I thought was inappropriate was when he…
