The toughest TV court judge is retiring.

Television personality and former circuit judge Judith B. Sheindlin will retire.

Judge Judy is a popular courtroom syndicated on most television stations across the United States. It was on for 25 years and is syndicated through CBS Paramount Television.

Her revial show Judy Justice is expected to finish its full tapings in October and the series will conclude in May. Amazon MGM Television owns the rights to that program.

She gained a reputation for her direct, no-nonsense style, and after appearing on “60 Minutes,” she was recruited for television, launching the syndicated courtroom show “Judge Judy” in 1996.

The show became a phenomenon, running on daytime television through 2021.

Sheindlin then made a move to streaming with “Judy Justice” in 2021, with the successful program running through this year.

Judy Justice is syndicated on local stations in the United States and is streamed on Amazon Prime.

Sheindlin was a supporter of Nikki Haley in her 2024 presidential run.
