    While they may have to follow the laws of NYC (etc), NOT the ones of your home jurisdiction
    Cite your source? As far as I've seen, Judge Judy and Judge Milian both hold the litigants to the laws in their own jurisdictions, even going so far as to take recesses to look it up/verify with officials in said jurisdiction.
    Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...

      Hrm. Good point. I may have been mistaken on that, tho I have evidence for the others. I may have been thinking of an earlier version of such shows, tho I do seem to recall certain ones mentioning something like that, looong ago. Mea culpa.

      One factoid I turned up is that JJ is filmed in Hollywood, CA, but they go out of their way to make it look like it's in NYC, which was where she worked when she was a Judge.

      PS, note that the dollar amounts I mentioned above are pulled from whole cloth.

        Judge Judy also worked family law in FL as well as NY.
