Celebrity Justice
All Rise!!! Judge Seidlin Says He's Ready for TV

Composite of Judge Siedlin and other TV judgesTMZ has learned Judge Larry Seidlin's dream is to become a judge on a TV courtroom show.

The endlessly entertaining Florida judge who is hearing the Anna Nicole case has had a TV show on the brain for months. Sources say Judge Seidlin has even made a demo tape of cases that were recorded in his courtroom.

Judge Seidlin, whose name is extremely similar to Judge Judy Sheindlin, graduated from night law school in New York. Seidlin was a taxi driver who worked his way through school. At 28, he was the youngest judge ever to be elected in Broward County. The 56-year-old judge is married with a young daughter.

166. If Judge Seidlin gets his own show...I will watch it! I think he is a unique judge and very refreshing to see one with feelings....he reminds me a bit of the actor Henry Winkler for some reason...I think it was fitting that he was the judge for this hearing, although I wish he would have ordered for the paternity test to be done on day one...then they would have a Father for little Dannielynn who deserves to be with her real father as well as the real Father know for sure...if they had a Father there would have not been a hard decision made...they would have been the one to make the decision for Anna nicole's burial. But Judge Sandlien...I really like him and as for a show I would watch it..he would be great!

167. 164. I was moved by the strategy used by Honorable Judge Seidlin, being honest and fair to all, yet firm and determined in making important discoveries for all to see. Howard Stern needed to hear about his mistakes. Listening to the media criticizing the Judge bothers me, specially after seeing the outcome, even though the mom is appealing the decision, my heart is with the mom as well.

168. I want to applaud the judge's decision today. I believe it was the best decision.
Although the lawyers were rude and outspoken and lacked integrity at times, I believe the judge tried to lighten the load and use anologies to help people understand the entire situation inlight of all their hurt, bitterness, etc. I believe he accomplished the job that he set out to do. He got the riled up people fairly calmed down, gave 3 of the closest people to Anna the hopes that Anna would be buried where they thought she should be buried--- this is what the court was suppose to arrive at: Who will bury Anna Nicole. The baby's father-paternit issue is a whole different court situation.

Blessings to you judge--I hope you get your dreams for your own court t.v show--pray ---The Lord gives The desires of your heart--when your desires are of Him--they come about!

Sincerely,

169. This judge is the biggest joke that i have ever seen. He is a travisty
of the justice system. A blind man could see that he had his own
agenda and was dragging his feet. I have never seen such
unprofessional conduct in a cout room in my life. This guy
should be removed from office ASAP and let him pursue his
television carrer. Fake tears and all. It made me sick to my stomach
and ashamed for our legal system..

170. What an embaressment. I live in Connecticut and watched this quack live yesterday. He should be removed from his bench. Anyone that is in charge of a hearing on the burial of a person should act accordingly. He totally disrespected the dead and made a mockery of the court room. A woman is dead and all he really cared about is getting on TV. I believe this Judge has sullied the reputation of the state of florida and I would be ashamed if he represented my state. Good luck and God bless the poor innocent baby.

171. I think in the end, Judge (passer-of-the-buck) Seinlin made the right decision….?? well, non-decision. SIX DAYS - SIX DAYS to hear that???—— ohhhhh c’mon. Easily could’ve been wrapped up days ago. I felt for everyone sitting in that courtroom subjected to his lecturing, insights, reminiscing of his personal life, and finally the blubbering at the end….. yawn~ Still feel he acted as if he were a comedic tabloid reporter for the National Enquirer, asking the questions that WE wanted to know personally, not legally. What-ever….. its over. THANK GOD!

173. Judge Seidlin, according to those who know him, is the only one who did not pander to the cameras. He is true to himself; and a fair, thoughtful judge.

174. He is a moron.

175. seidlin should realize any television interest in him is NOT because of his judicious temperament or rulings. rather, the guy is a trainwreck. CBS only wants to put him in front of a camera to get some ratings from this bozo.

nope, his 15 minutes (already 14.9 minutes too long) are up. this guy is such a camera whore he is willing to further tarnish his image AND the jurisprudence process... just to be on TV.
