Judge Lynn Toler is a former municipal court judge who now hosts the nationally syndicated show, Divorce Court. She is also a bi-monthly contributor to News and Notes on NPR and became host of the prime time TV show Decision House in 2007. In 2006, Judge Lynn published her book, My Mother's Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius. Praised as an "awe-inspiring memoir" by Essence Magazine, it not only chronicles her life as a child raised in the shadow of her father's mental illness but provides practical advice for anyone seeking more and better emotional control.
In 2009, Judge Lynn also published her second book Put It In Writing, co-authored with Deborah Hutchinson.
Adding to her television credits Judge Lynn also went behind the camera in 2009 as Executive Producer of the television show Wedlock or Deadlock, a spin off of the already popular Divorce Court.
