Nicole first met her stepmother Judy when she was 7 years old at the kitchen table. Judy was visiting Nicole's father, who introduced Judy as a lawyer like himself, but noted that while he got bad guys out of jail, Judy loved putting them in. Judy looked Nicole in the eye, shrugged, and proudly confirmed this was what she did. Nicole immediately liked Judy due to her directness, perfect posture, or sparkle in her eye. Eight months later, Nicole's father and Judy married in New York City, officially blending their family of five children total, with Nicole being the youngest.

by Nicole Sheindlin I first met Judy when I was seven years old, at my kitchen table. It was 1975. My dad and mom had separated the pre- vious year. I came off the school bus one day and saw a shiny blue car in my driveway. I was anxious to come inside and see who was visiting. My dad was seated at the kitchen table with a woman I had never seen before. I climbed into his lap, curious to learn about this new visitor. Dad said, This is Judy. Shes a lawyer just like me. The difference is, I get the bad guys out of jail and she loves to put them in. Judy looked me right in the eye, cocked her head, shrugged her shoulders, and said proudly,Thats what I do. I dont know if it was the directness of her statement, her absolutely perfect posture, or the sparkle in her eye, but I liked her immediately.We became instant friends. Eight months later, at an intimate ceremony in New York City, my dad and Judy married and we officially be- came a blended family. We are five children in total, three boys and two girls. I am the baby of the bunch.
