Addressing the issues that have Americans feeling angry, alarmed, and powerless–welfare abuse, street crime, teenage pregnancy, among others–Judge Judy Sheindlin demonstrates how the system permits and even promotes a lack of individual responsibility. She then offers real solutions on how to get this country back on track.

Judge Judy Sheindlin established herself as a tough but fair judge in New York’s family court. She is the presiding judge for Judge Judy, a nationally syndicated daily television show based on real court cases, and the author of two best-selling adult books and a children’s book. She lives in New York City with her husband, Jerry, a New York Supreme Court Judge. She is the mother of five and a grandmother of four.
