Judge Judy is Writing a Series Based on Her Personal Life

Judge Judith Sheindlin -- widely known as Judge Judy -- is famous for sorting out the chaos in people's lives, but the legal star is about to turn the spotlight on herself.

Sheindlin is developing a TV drama series based on her own life away from the courtroom, Deadline reports. It will be aired on CBS, the same channel that hosts her long-standing Judge Judy reality family court show.

Sheindlin will act as co-writer and executive producer alongside Michael Chernuchin, known for his work on Law & Order.
