Judge Judy hangs up her afternoon-TV gavel after 25 years

Judge Judy: by her own reasoning, a firm but fair judge, both of character and case.
A quick-talking, hard-nosed litigator that presided over small-claims cases in front of television cameras, including CBS in the States and Ireland's TV3/Virgin Media, Judge Judith Sheindlin went from litigating in family courts to laying down the law before cameras in inimitable style for over 25 years, becoming a staple of afternoon television.
