When asked about how the Judge stays true to herself, she said, "It's been sort of easy. I grew up with, you do the right thing, the right thing happens [and] take responsibility. Things don't function anymore. I've found in the family court that the dysfunction that I saw had not been resolved and despite the fact that billions of dollars were spent on trying to find remediation and just the right therapy and just the right social service, it didn't get better. Today is just another example of it."
"I just stay in my own little world, I say, 'this is right and this is wrong,' if you tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory. Try to keep good friends and keep your enemies closer until you find out you can annihilate them," she added during her interview on Good Morning America.
The granddaughter of the TV judge later confessed how she feels about continuing her legacy and taking it forward. Sarah Rose shared the details about how she felt while receiving her degree from Sheindlin. "It was surreal to have my grandmother be the first speaker for the first graduation [since the pandemic] due to COVID, just to have my classmates excited about the moment, and then for me personally was just over the moon that she was there -- and being able to give me my degree was really special -- it was a great legacy moment for me."
The pair later spoke about what the fans can expect from the upcoming season and the changes that were made for it. The second installment of the series will apparently be more and better of the same as their premiere season. Finally, Sheindlin talked about her plans set around the celebration of her 80th birthday which would be later this month. The judge announced that she will be spending time on a private isolated island along with her family.
