Current Events > Why are the judges on judge tv shows so mean

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's really offputting like they tell people to shut up and stop talking and it's so rude.

To make it interesting. If they were like real judges then no one would want to watch

You sure you're not just threatened seeing a strong woman like judge Judy with power?

Yeah it's just kinda sad like I couldn't imagine going on there though I would have some sort of anxious breakdown.

Even when the people are well-mannered and acting calmly it's like they stir up fake drama. Like one time this guy interrupted the defendant ONCE and the bailiff steps up and says "Put your documents there... move your glasses there... Alright so you can follow those directions, so follow these: STOP TALKING OVER HER".

Like wow.

Judge Joe Brown is actually from my home state and tried to run in Memphis for district attorney. He completely fucked that up by getting charged with contempt of court and some other bullshit

Judge Joe Brown was kinda friendly wasn't he?

How did he get charged with contempt of court xd.

Had to look it up cause the only thing I remember is him getting charged and losing. Apparently it happened in the same month he won the democratic primary. What a dumbass

Brown, who retains his law license, was reviewing a child support matter as a favor to an acquaintance. According to press accounts, Brown became combative and irate after Horne refused to discuss details of the case that were not on the schedule. Brown was sentenced to five days in jail,[4][8] but was later released on his own recognizance.

When I was a lawyer, the bar association kept warning us of the dangers of accepting cases out of favor for friends. They were right >_>

Huh, that's interesting. Not ... too serious sounding, more of like a cooldown thing.

Also lol @ this one, the lady just gave the judge documents and she was like "I can't read this, I CAN'T READ THIS, why the HELL would you give me documents I can't read??"

They're trying to copy the success of Judge Judy.

Judge Wapner was p. chill

I liked this one yesterday when the judge was like "girl you're bein' petty" and then she turned to her bailiff and was like "who is she?" and the bailiff was like "She just a petty labelle".
