Judge Constance Harm is a harsh, sadistic, and unforgiving disciplinarian. She enjoys creating cruel punishments for criminals in her court. Usually Judge Snyder resolves court cases, but Judge Harm has mainly been used for handing down negative verdicts, such as sentencing a family member to prison.

Biography and Career

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 appeals a restraining order that Lisa has on him, he implies that Judge Harm has no sense of humor, and that's why she became a judge instead of finding a husband. Judge Harm indignantly retorts, "I have a husband!", and extends the restraining order on Bart from 20 feet to 200 feet.[1]

Judge Harm is transgendered (male to female). On another occasion when Bart appears in her courtroom, she says to him, "You remind me of me, when I was a little boy." The revelation comes as a shock to Snake: "Did she say she used to be a dude?"[2]

Harm also revoked Homer's driver's license after he drove his car off the dock (due to having so many accessories installed in his car that he wasn't paying attention to his driving). After Homer was rescued by the Coast Guard, he appeared in Harm's courtroom, where she cut up Homer's license, guillotined the pieces, fed the remaining shards to a pair of dogs, and then ordered the court officers to "Burn their crap!"[3]

Behind the Scenes

  • Judge Harm is a parody of TV's tough-as-nails, no-nonsense Judge Judy. We see this, because instead of Judge Judy's famous quotation saying 'Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining'. She says 'Don't spit on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting'
  • Her name is a pun on the phrase "Constant Harm," implying that she likes issuing cruel punishments to people in her courtroom.
