Randy Douthit is also well-known for his work on the reality court series Judge Judy, which saw former Judge Judy Sheindlin, take on real-life small case claims. Douthit has spent over 100 hours working on the project, which is said to be even more special with its 25th anniversary this year. Some of the things Randy Douthit has learned from being on Judge Judy include:
- Don’t be afraid to get personal with your clients. “Judge Judy” found that many clients were willing to talk to us about their lives, but they still had some questions that we couldn’t answer without going into great detail. So, we had to be open and let the clients know we were interested in their lives.
- Don’t be afraid to take on real-life cases. “Judge Judy” found that many of her clients could take on real-life cases without trouble. We had to be prepared to go against our own rules and do what we think is right, even though some of our clients might not think so at home.
- Don’t be afraid to have fun when you’re working on Judge Judy. “Judge Judy” found that much of the fun during a project was knowing that we were making a difference in people’s lives.
