Judge Judy began wearing that trademark lace collar as soon as was appointed as a judge – she’s been slayin’ the fashion scene since you were in diapers essentially. In 1982, Sheindlin and her husband Jerry took a trip to Greece for two weeks to celebrate her appointment. As they passed a kiosks with locally made crafts, she impulsively bought a white lace collar! Judy said to her husband that male judges wore collared white dress shirts and colorful neckties whereas women had no buffer. Sheindlin also believed that people across the aisle would think, “That nice little lady with the lace collar sitting behind the bench couldn’t hurt a fly!” ~Scoff~

The Big Apple
Even though the scenes show a New York background, Judge Judy is actually taped in California. Sheindlin spends 52 days a year taping the show. Even though there are views of the Manhattan bridge between takes and a New York state flag behind her chair, not all is what it seems! Sometimes during taping an earthquake might occur and you might even see it happen on-screen if the editing team doesn’t do a bang up job. Therefore she flies to California every other Monday and hears cases on a Tuesday and Wednesday (sometimes Thursday if there are any production delays). And get this – one full week’s worth of shows are just filmed each day.
