Republic flag in US courtrooms?

Question

I have noticed on TV in US courtrooms there is the American flag on the left and another flag with the words REPUBLIC on the right (and different colours.)

I was wondering what flag it is and if you could include a link re the source and a photo it would be appreciated as I genuinely would like to know. Thank you in advance for all replies!

Answer 1

In US courtrooms, the US flag is displayed on the left and the state flag (there are 50 different ones) is displayed on the right.

Answer 2

You should be aware that 'Judge Judy' is a television show, put on for entertainment not for legal status.

Answer 3

It might be the state flag of California.  The California flag has a grizzly bear on it, with the words 'California Republic' written across the bottom above a red stripe.  If the courtroom is in Los Angeles (very likely) there would be both an American and a California flag.
