Thus anything you see on the program is suspect. Lets you and I agree here! YAY. Judge Judy is pretty much an arbitrator. Sound fair? The way the payouts work, or at least as is my understanding is that the maximum judgement of say $5,000 is doubled and put into an account. (An example.) The judgement comes out of that money, and then the rest is split equally between the participants. I think it works this way. So people don't even pay the judgements. Again it is TV, not law. She was indeed a judge at one time and has probably a better opinion on the law than say... me. But not sure how much she has an impact on precident.

Now just don't tell me wrestling is not real. If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000
acesover Special user I believe I have 821 Posts	Posted: Mar 14, 2012 09:27 pm 0 Just some info I found on Judge Judy: Annual Salary according to Forbes:2005 Earnings : $25 million 2007 Earnings : $30 million 2008 Earnings : $45 million 2010 Earnings : $45 million -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The meanest grandmother you never had, Judge Judy has earned hundreds of millions of dollars dispensing fake courtroom advice on her syndicated TV show. While Oprah Winfrey is busy doling out gifts, daytime rival Judge Judy spends her television time administering tough love. The latter has proved a successful formula for the judge, who frequently trumps Winfrey in the ratings. Still better for the 68-year-old star: Her series brings in a cool $45 million last year. America’s most-watched courtroom has entered its 15th season. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Destiny Inner circle 1429 Posts	Posted: Mar 15, 2012 11:37 am 0 I'm a fan. It's obvious there are adjustments made to keep it entertaining but it allows a bit of a window into real life and she does express some common sense which a lot of the people who front her 'court' seem short of. There's an element of acting but that's no different to real courts - there's better actors in most justice systems than in Hollywood. She sometimes takes astonishing leaps of judgement apparently based on no evidence whatsoever, just her own intuition and experience, and very often seems to have reached the correct conclusion. I find watching her like watching Springer with less guilt. It's fun to feel all superior about the ignorant willing to put their failings on world wide display for a few bucks.
