Judge Judy Sheindlin, 83, is preparing to conclude her current courtroom series, "Judy Justice," next month, but her presence on television is far from over. Sheindlin announced in a recent interview that she plans to produce a new small-claims court program titled "Adam's Law," which will feature her son, Adam Levy.
"I have a lot of other things of interest," Sheindlin told People. "I don't want to do hair and makeup anymore, but I still want my message to get out there."
Sheindlin expressed confidence in her son's ability to carry the new show, citing his background in television, including work on the Prime Video series "Tribunal Justice." "He has what it takes," she said, adding that while he might not have been ready eight years ago, "He's ready now."
Levy, 58, described his mother as a "tough cookie" and recalled lessons in independence during his upbringing. He is an attorney with experience in private practice and served multiple terms as Putnam County, New York's district attorney. Levy also previously worked as a ski instructor after graduating from New York's Hofstra Law School. Sheindlin recalled an instance where she intervened on a job opportunity for her son, telling a potential employer, "Hi, this is Adam Levy's mom. And yes, he's going to take that job."
"Adam's Law" is scheduled to debut on September 14. Levy, who is based in Wyoming, films his current series in Stamford, Connecticut, and is married to Lori Leichtman, with whom he has three children. He noted that his work allows him to spend time with his mother when he travels to the East Coast.
Sheindlin also shared a sense of contentment as her on-camera career winds down. "I don't think that I've ever been this content before," she stated. "I don't have to prove anything else. I did it."
