Maria Lopez, the only judge in history to yell at a lawyer (that’s a joke, son), is profiled in the forthcoming issue of Massachsuetts Lawyers Weekly. Her “Judge Judy”-style show, “Judge Maria Lopez,” will make its debut on Sept. 11.
Lopez tells reporter David Frank: “I used to have some regrets about what had happened until this television opportunity came along. I used to say I regretted having lost my temper, but I don’t anymore because it was that loss of temper that has gotten me to where I am today. It’s the irony of it all.”
Here is the article I wrote about Lopez’s travails six years ago, when I was working for her husband. I think it stands up pretty well. And I hope her show’s a success.

Apparently we DID hear the last of Ebony’s $50…..

Dan, What are you smoking? You hope her show is a success?How exactly would you define “success” in this context? She is now a Judge Judy. That’s a positive?What the hell. Look at me, ever’body! – I’m an amateur gynecologist! I should have my own show soon. I hope it’s a success.
