No one loathes fraudsters, fools, and fabricators more than TV's beloved Judge Judy. (Her name is actually Judith Sheindlin.) If you ever watched her in action, you know that she has zero tolerance for anyone in her "courtoom" who tries to pull a fast one. Many smooth-talking plaintiffs and defendants have emerged from the proceedings red-faced after one of Judge Judy's trademark tongue-lashings. Viewing her show was an entertaining education in the law and human nature. However, Sheindlin, 83, is reportedly hanging up her judicial robes. Per People, she is ending her stint on Prime Video's Judy Justice next month.

She plans to be doing other things such as working on Judyverse, which the outlet calls "an adult animated series." All in all, she seems at peace with her next move. "I don't want to do hair and makeup anymore, but I still want my message to get out there."
Sheindlin Is Keeping It All in the Family
Maybe one reason for Judith Sheindlin's ease about concluding this phase of her career has to do with her son. Adam Levy, 58, will be launching a legal series of his own called Adam's Law. Produced by Judith Sheindlin, it debuts on September 14. Per People, that is almost three decades after Judge Judy first turned up on America's small screens.
Sheindlin is very confident in Levy's abilities. "There aren't a lot of people who can carry a half hour on their own unscripted. He has what it takes." She was evidently just as no-nonsense with him as a youngster as she was with people from her bench. Adam Levy says his mom would tell him years ago, "If you want baseball cards, don't ask me for money."
Son Adam Levy Has an Impressive Background
A graduate of Hofstra Law School, per People, Levy "worked in private practice and served two terms as the D.A. in Putnam County, N.Y...." Then he got bitten by the TV bug. Beginning three years ago, he was on Tribunal Justice, a series created by his mom which airs on Prime Video.
Mom is rightfully proud. She declared, "Maybe eight years ago he wasn't ready. He's ready now."
