Judith Susan Sheindlin Judy Justice
Premiering on November 1, 2021, with production that commenced in July 2021 (shortly after the production of Judge Judy ended in April 2021), Sheindlin currently presides over another arbitration-based courtroom series, Judy Justice, a spinoff of Judge Judy. The program is aired through the streaming service Amazon Freevee (originally under the name IMDb TV during the show’s first season). It is the first standard court show to air first-run episodes exclusively through streaming.
The court show has been characterized as a “hip” rendition of Judge Judy, featuring Gen Z input from Sheindlin’s young-adult granddaughter, frequent use of a stenographer to quote testimony to settle discrepancies, Sheindlin’s conspicuous robe color, a modernized courtroom set and cases that have been described as more sensational because of fewer time constraints and higher monetary award limits than on Judge Judy. While Sheindlin has promised to use the same adjudicating techniques that she had employed on Judge Judy, she has lessened her no-nonsense approach, delving deeper into case details, with most episodes focusing on a single long case.
Her previous program typically hosted two cases per episode and was known for its aggressive pacing. In April 2022, viewership of Judge Judy reruns was found to have vastly outperformed that of Judy Justice’s first season. However, the first season of Judy Justice set a record for the number of streaming hours viewed on IMDb TV for its first season and was thus granted a second season, which premiered on November 7, 2022. Sheindlin won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program for the first season of the series, making her the only television arbitrator to have won the award for more than one court show (both Judge Judy and Judy Justice).
