Some of the most notable lessons Randy Douthit taught were based on Judge Judy’s philosophy. He says that she treats herself as one of the parties, which means no matter what, she will make sure that justice prevails. Randy also says that Judge Judy always treats people with respect and understanding. He claims that if you show up to court and you’re respectful, then Judge Judy will be more likely to return the favor by being understanding when it comes to your case.
Here are some notable lessons learned from Judge Judy
- She makes sure that everyone is on the same page
Randy says that Judge Judy can make sure that everyone is on the same page by constantly asking questions. He says that this helps everyone become more familiar with one another and often results in her being able to make fair rulings.
- She writes her cases
Randy says that she makes sure to write up new cases every time. He says that her confidence in her writing abilities allows her to make quick judgments.
- She is more than willing to help even if you don’t want her assistance
Randy says that many lawyers are out there who try to get into the Judge Judy neighborhood when they feel like their case may be counted among the top ones. Stuart asked if they have any idea how much time this woman spends dealing with these situations. Randy says you should never brag about it, but he believes that the good lawyers who are even on her show as defendants need to thank their lucky stars for her assistance. This is especially true for anyone who has received a judgment from her.
- She uses deadpan humor to defuse arguments
Randy Douthit says that many people think that she is rude and demeaning, but he claims that this is not the case.
