Sarah Palin to get her own Judge Judy-style courtroom TV showPalin has reportedly made a deal with Montana-based production company Warm Springs to star in her own reality court show.
... the production team includes the TV executive who found Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown.
Palin does not actually have a law degree, of course.
In this genre, though, almost all of the hosts such as Joseph Wapner, Judy Sheindlin, or Joe Brown have indeed been retired judges.
(Maybe Bristol Palin can be her bailiff?)

Indeed, both went to law school when it was relatively uncommon for a woman or African American to do so.
Sarah Palin is a know-nothing shithead who shopped around until some college would grant her a diploma.
I mean, honestly.

How could SP be allowed to "preside" as a judge even in the spectrum of entertainment?

(34,195 posts)These TV judge shows aren't really court rooms but are 'arbitration'.
You and I could agree to let 'John Doe" hear our case and abide by his decision.

(37,158 posts)Here's the show's formula:
Plaintiff tells their side. Defendant tells theirs. Judge Sarah quits, guest celebrity has-been comes on to give the verdict.
Next episode: same thing, just different plaintiff, defendant, and celebrity has-been.
Sarah never makes a bad call.

(64,993 posts)Judge Sarah quits, then one of the "contestants" spins a wheel that has "plaintiff" or "defendant" on it and that settles the case.
It would add a Wheel of Fortune twist to the show.
It wouldn't make it any less serious than having Palin on the show in the first place.

So glad she's not a real judge.
