And can anyone tell me why the bailiff always says "the parties have beem sworn in in Judge you may be seated - have a seat maam" and points to some imaginary person. I swear he does it even when there are no extra witnesses. Very strange indeed.
Okay, while I think that the bailiff Petri Hawkins-Byrd on Judge Judy happens to be a bit strange, you can visit his website if you like! Despite everything, it is actually not a bad website - as a far as tv bailiffs' websites go.
You can write to Judge Judy (I am not quite that obsessed, but someone might be) at
Judge Judy

The official Judge Judy website is not finished yet but should be pretty good when it is.
If anyone knows where i can access .wav files of Judge Judy in action, please e mail me. Of all the silly things people put on the internet, I am yet to find some smart person who has uploaded Judy's acid tongued, no nonsense comments.
