Quebec Gets it's Own Judge Judy

Anne-France Goldwater is set to be Quebec's very own Judge Judy. The Montreal lawyer will be the star of L'Arbitre, a French version of the popular American court show. Goldwater will mediate small-claims disputes on the show. It will air in September on the V network.

Producers say the show will focus on humour and resolving issues. It will pay out settlements Goldwater deems fit, to a maximum of $7,000. 

Goldwater sees herself as a younger and fresher version of the American judge. She said, "Judy Sheindlin is gettnig a little long in the tooth."
