CBS to Face Judge Over ‘Judge Judy’ Profits Lawsuit

Deadline: Judy Sheindlin might be the one facing the judge next year. The TV host and CBS have been handed a trial date of October 23, 2017, for a lawsuit over the profits from her long-running show. If no deal is reached, CBS and Rebel Entertainment are heading toward a maybe not-so-civil faceoff over the big bucks Rebel says it is owed by the celebrity judge and the network.
