Judy listens to the case from both sides, examines proofs, Crosschecks witnesses and then finally gives judgment. Recording of this show is aired every day on CBS.

First show opens up to a court scene and a background voice gives the details of the case. Parties will be called to chair for further inquiry by Judge Judy.

The party who has filed a complaint is called Plaintiff and an oppsite party is called as a defendant. These are the terminologies used to address both the parties in every episode.

Once the judgment is given, an anchor asks a few questions about the judgment outside the hall.

Stolen case

A girl came to Judge Judy with the complaint that her things were stolen by a guy (Defendant was on the stand & he said he didn’t steal anything from the girl). She was explaining what all things are stolen.

Take LIKE out of the dictionary

Judge Judy doesn’t leave people who take her court lightly. She just kicks them off!

There was a guy who was addicted to using LIKE in every sentence. His answers were like ‘I created my bank account LIKE 2-3 months back’, ‘I deposited LIKE 25 bucks’, ‘Total amount was LIKE 800 dollars’…

Then Judy snapped him for using LIKE and told him to take LIKE out of the dictionary 

What is Rocket Science?
