| − | Harm is notorious for having an even-'''tougher'''-than-nails approach in how she runs her courtroom, and takes a dim view of people making personal remarks abut her. For example, when [[Bart]] appealed a restraining order that [[Lisa]] had on him, he implied that Judge Harm had no sense of humor, and that was why she became a judge instead of finding a husband. Judge Harm indignantly retorted, "I ''have'' a husband!", and extended the restraining order on Bart from 20 feet to 200 feet.<ref>"[[On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister]]"</ref> | + | Harm is a black-hearted judge for having an even-'''tougher'''-than-nails approach in how she runs her courtroom, and takes a dim view of people making personal remarks abut her.

She immediately established a complete contrast to Snyder's generally easy-going style: Judge Snyder kept a figurine of a fishing clown on his bench for an ornament, but Harm had a guillotine.<ref name="The Parent Rap">"[[The Parent Rap]]"</ref> | | Judge Harm was first seen when she filled in for [[Judge Snyder]], who had just gone on vacation.

In spite of her often-harsh attitude, Judge Harm is a competent jurist and fluent in the law. When Homer tried to declare bankruptcy and cited legal definitions to prove his point, Harm didn't buy it. She pointed out that he was referring to the old bankruptcy laws and thus still was required to pay his creditors. She then ordered him to get financial counseling.[3]
Judge Harm is transgender (male to female). On another occasion when Bart appeared in her courtroom, she said to him, "You remind me of me, when I was a little boy." The revelation came as a shock to Snake: "Did she say she used to be a dude?"[2]
