Judge Judy Will Share Words Of Wisdom At Rye Country Day Graduation

RYE, NY — Judith "Judge Judy" Sheindlin will be offering her thoughts to the 2023 graduating Upper School class at Rye Country Day on June 9.

Sheindlin's grandchild will be among the graduates listening as she shares her words of wisom. The uber-popular celebrity judge and bestselling author also had another grandchild who graduated from the elite private school in 2018.

The Emmy Award-winning television personality presided over the number one court show in daytime television since it debuted in 1996. The "Judge Judy" reality show has been the top program in first-run syndication for the last decade.

Sheindlin has been one of the country's best known media personalities for nearly 30 years and she remains a household name. Although the show that launched her to superstardom has ended, Sheindlin is still on the bench and in front of the camera. She is the presiding judge on "Judy Justice," the Emmy Award-winning reality courtroom show on Amazon Freevee.

The Rye Country Day graduates will not only hear Sheindlin's insights as a celebrity, but also as a seasoned, former family court judge, prolific author and famously generous philanthropist.

A previous version of this story incorrectly characterized Sheindlin's role as a commencement speaker at the graduation and has been updated to reflect that she will be providing words of wisdom to graduates.
