Judge Judy And The Case Of The Urinary Tract Infection
Yesterday on Judge Judy, a woman was suing a teenager and her mother for medical bills that the teen incurred while she was staying at the plaintiff's home. The teen was dating the plaintiff's son and got a nasty UTI — she says it's a chronic problem that "runs in the family" — so the plaintiff took her to the emergency room. The teen's mother didn't want to pay the medical bills because she would've preferred the girl just drank water and cranberry juice. JJ was not pleased with the defendants, and said so, asserting that they are "idiots, which is probably congenital too!" Clip above.

Judge Judy Does Not Approve Of American Apparel-Inspired Photography
Today on Judge Judy, a group of litigious, female, 19-year-old roommates were featured, angry over a bunch of crap like unpaid rent and belongings. The defendant claimed that she knew that her former roommates stole her underwear because she saw one of them posed provocatively in the panties on MySpace. The girl featured with the panties explained that she swiped them simply because thought it would be cool to do some American Apparel-inspired shots, and JJ — who is probably no fan of Dov Charney or American Apparel's advertising — definitely didn't like the sound of that.

Judge Judy: "Madam, If You Can Enjoy The Bedroom With Your Boyfriend, You Can Get A Job!"
The case on yesterday's episode of Judge Judy was like a WT soap opera. A mother of eight children — fathered, apparently, by multiple men — was suing one of her daughters for false arrest. The daughter, 32, had moved back in with her mom after a car accident left her unable to work due to "back problems" and promptly became a total mooch, refusing to contribute to rent or utilities, indulging in a cocktail of pain meds, and, following an altercation, having her mother arrested for assault. Well, JJ hates it when perfectly able-bodied people don't have jobs, and she made sure to drive the point home by telling the young woman that if her back injury doesn't keep her from having sex with her boyfriend, than it shouldn't keep her from earning a living. Clip above.

Judge Judy Has Zero Tolerance For Drunken Plaintiffs
This particular case from Judge Judy is kind of confusing: It involves a gas station, a hospital, one assault, two separate car accidents, three parties, and lots and lots of drunk people. The plaintiff was so drunk (and allegedly on meth) that she didn't remember why she got beat up, who exactly beat her up, where she was hanging out or who she was with. She's suing her former BFF and roommate, as well as the BFF's sister, who, BTW , wasn't even there. Not surprisingly, JJ can barely sit in her seat, she's so irritated, and ends up calling the plaintiff a crybaby. LOL! Needless to say, she dismisses the claim. You'll feel just as drunk as these chicks after you watch the clip above.

Judge Judy Gives ET's Mary Hart Advice On Dating
Judge Judy was on Entertainment Tonight on Friday to talk about her new multi-year deal with CBS that has her taping new episodes of her show through 2012. (At a reported $30 million a year for JJ. Syndication is where it's at!) Judy also took the time to give Mary Hart a little advice on love. "If you meet him in a bar on Tuesday, and you let him move in on Thursday, and co-sign for a car for him on Saturday you're an idiot." LOVE. HER.

Judge Judy Teaches Wife Beater To Have Respect For Women
Judge Judy is really one of the smartest women alive. It's not even that you can't get anything past her, it's that she has a brilliant way of letting people set their own traps, and then suggesting they walk right into them. Like with this guy in the clip above from today's episode. He's being sued by his ex, (also the mother of his children), for damages stemming from an incident when he head-butted her in the face at his child's birthday party. He's trying to deny that it occurred, but JJ has a way to make him see the light.

A Stoner's Love For Judge Judy Is Unrequited
The clip above is from a Judge Judy episode that aired on Friday, that shows how, with JJ, flattery will get you nowhere. The plaintiff and defendant used to be buddies, but had a falling out over some weed they were growing in the plaintiff's backyard. The fight turned violent—which is very unstoner-like—and the plaintiff is suing for damages and says he had nothing to do with the pot plants. The defendant is kind of kooky (he claims he studies Jiu-Jitsu), and he tries to win over JJ by telling her he loves her. Needless to say, she remains unaffected by his affections, and ends up ruling in the plaintiff's favor.

The clip above is from an episode of Judge Judy that aired a few years ago. The woman with the red hair might just be one of the best plaintiffs to ever appear on a daytime small claims court television show. She was in Boston marriage-type situation, living with a middle-aged woman running a daycare center. There was apparently an issue between the two about some missing Tupperware, which sparked a fight that led the defendant to hit the plaintiff on the head—with her finger. The plaintiff is suing for assault and damages. Just watch her in action. JJ barely even has to say anything to point out the ridiculousness of the case, as it's readily apparent.

Back in 1993, before she had her show Judge Judy, 60 Minutes profiled Judith Sheindlin, who was widely known in the family court system in NYC. It's really interesting to watch JJ from back in the day, and to know that her behavior today is not just for the sake of television. She was always a character. JJ made a name for herself — as well as many enemies — criticizing the way the disorganized way the city handled child welfare, assigning too many case workers to each kid. She's genuine in her tough love efforts to make a difference in a child's life. Also, we just read that she's a proponent of same-sex marriage. She rules!

Above is a clip from an episode of Judge Judy that aired today about a woman suing her ex-boyfriend for money he borrowed to pay his legal fees stemming from a DUI arrest. It's pretty typical small-claims crap that routinely comes before JJ. However, the defendant's mother is something else. Clearly a woman with a bad attitude and a temper, she mutters under her breath through much of the hearing, much to JJ's chagrin. The mom gets so angry at the way the case is going that she yells, "Bullshit!" then starts heading toward the back of the courtroom. Seriously when she said that, you could tell that everyone was like, "Oh no she dit ant!" and waited with baited breath for what JJ would do=. However, JJ only told the mom to leave, and didn't rip into her, even as she kept running her mouth as she left. It's basically just another testament to how truly awesome and smart JJ is, because she knows those she can get through to, and those she can't.

The new episodes of Judge Judy this week have been sofa king awesome that it's been difficult to decide on which clips to feature. But when I saw this episode yesterday, there was no question in my mind that I needed to share it. It's about these two chicks from the Bronx. The plaintiff was with this guy for 13 years and had two children with him before he left her, 8 years ago, for the the defendant. The two women have been enemies ever since, and it all came to a head one winter morning when they were dropping their kids off at school. They had words, spit on each other, and then the plaintiff attacked the defendant's car. The defendant ran out of the car and beat the shit out of the plaintiff, and then bit off her motherfucking pinky finger! For real! And then she spit it out on the ground and laughed in the plaintiff's face. Something tells me that the man they're fighting over—who, JJ discovered, does not pay child support—is so not worth blood shed.

Every once in a while, the magic of a Judge Judy case will come not from JJ herself, but from kooky litigants in her court. In the clip above, a woman, from what I'm guessing is the backwoods of Louisiana, is suing her sister and former neighbor for the cost of repair to her car. The defendant—an amazing rubber-necker—borrowed the car, hit a deer, thus killing it, then took it home, and ate it. She tried to make amends for the damaged car by offering some of the meat to the plaintiff and was very offended when the plaintiff declined. The sisters have since been in a huge fight that the defendant likened to the Hatfield-McCoy feud. Seriously, why isn't there a banjo playing in the background the whole time?

The Judge Judy clip above may be one of my all time favorites. This really despicable chick posted an eBay auction for two cellphones, with a complete, detailed description of the items, except at the bottom she added in fine print "For photo only." A woman and her daughter won the auction for about $450 and were mailed two printer copy images of the phones the phones they thought they were purchasing. They contacted the sellers, who laughed at them and told them to take them to court, and then thanked them for the shopping spree. Unbelievable, right? JJ totally goes off on the seller, calls her an idiot, threatens to call child protective services on her for bringing criminal activity into her home, and finally, awards the maximum $5000 to the plaintiff. Justice is served.

We really love when Judge Judy goes off on people who really deserve it. Like this couple, Cliff and Cassie, who physically abused their baby (a claim they deny, but was proven by Child Protective Services). In order to keep the child from entering foster care, Cassie's mother gained custody, but after she requested that her daughter and son-in-law pay child support, Cliff and Cassie called up CPS and falsely reported that she was sexually abusing the baby. It's about all that JJ can do from hopping over the bench and strangling them with her doily collar. But she does rip them a new asshole... and rightfully so. Clip above.

Daytime TV referee Judge Judy Sheindlin isn't so into computers or video games — she's 65, people! — so it's no surprise that she is totally clueless about World of Warcraft. In fact, existence of the mega-popular online role-playing game was only made clear to Judge Judy today, when she heard a court case between a young woman who sued her inattentive WoW-addicted former live-in boyfriend for unpaid rent. After hearing a bit of testimony about his addiction, JJ was so confused that she had to repeat the words "World of Warcraft" over and over again, in hopes that it would start to make sense. (It didn't!) We were confused too: After all, can guys who play WoW really get girlfriends? (Kidding!) Clip above.

I watch Judge Judy enough to know that she's been using the same calculator for years and years. In the dispute in the clip above, a woman is suing her ex for overdrawing a joint checking account. He took out $1000 in cash, and then spent another $1500 on food, gas, and stuff from Skywalker Productions (which I'm thinking has to be Star Wars-related). JJ lent them her calculator to figure out the total amount, but neither the plaintiff nor the defendant could figure out how to use it (the one guy actually refers to it as a "computer").

Because of her lengthy career in family court, Judge Judy hates when parents use their children as weapons against one another. Especially if one of the parents is sorta psychotic! The clip above is about a case in which a married couple temporarily separated and the man dated another woman. His wife became so jealous and enraged that she wouldn't let him see their child for months and then harassed him and his mistress. She ended up slashing the woman's tires, and breaking into her car, removing all contents (the woman was in the process of moving so everything she owned was in the car) and running over them several times with her car. Luckily, there was security cam footage of it all!
