Happy 80th birthday to #JudgeJudy (#JudySheindlin).  For 25 seasons from September 16, 1996, to July 23, 2021, Sheindlin presided over her own top Nielsen-rated court show, Judge Judy, for which she is best known. Through starring on Judge Judy, Sheindlin became the longest-serving television arbitrator in courtroom-themed programming history, a distinction that earned her a place in the #GuinnessWorldRecords in 2015. She has additionally received a #LifetimeAchievementEmmy in 2019 for her work.

On November 1, 2021, Sheindlin launched a spin-off streaming series, #JudyJustice, on what was known as "IMDb TV" during its first season (renamed Amazon Freevee afterwards), another arbitration-based reality court show featuring her handling of legal disputes. With Sheindlin having won the #DaytimeEmmyAward for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program in 2022 for the first season of Judy Justice, she is now the only television arbitrator to have won the award for more than one court show, 3 for Judge Judy and 1 for Judy Justice.
