Judge for a Day
Jan 30, 2008 by Midday Metro
Students thinking about a career on The Bench will get a little insight with the Judge for a Day program being sponsored by Utah State Courts. But you got to submit an essay -- isn't that the way of things.
Utah Appeals Court Judge Judith Billings says the three-year-old program is an outreach tool that's a good way to disabuse the public of stereotypes and out-and-out falsehoods perpetuated by TV shows like Boston Legal and Law & Order. However, the judge admits to a penchant for the latter. When it comes to the wackiness on the bench that is Captain Kirk's Boston Legal, the real Judge Judy says, "never seen it."

Jeopardy champ and former Utahn Ken Jennings will be on the show tomorrow. If you think you have a trivia stumper, post away. Also, call in tomorrow at (801) 355-TALK to test the champ yourself.
