Josie-Jo-Ford, J.J Ford is a 40 years old African-american Judge, appellate Division of the State Supreme Court. Judge reminds me of first lady, Michelle Obama. J.J Ford has an education from Columbia, law degree, Harvard. She lives in apartment 4D in Sunset Towers. During Sam Westing's Game, judge was paired up with doorman, Sandy McSouthers. When J.J. Ford first got the clues and it didn't make sense, she wanted to quit. After some persuasion from the doorman she was convinced. She didn't take the money but, she gave it to Sandy. Sandy was very thankful for the money, he needed it for, his family he said. Sandy and J.J Ford's clues where: Skies Am Shinning Brother With these clues she had no doubt what it means. She thinks, Sam Westing's choice of words must of been limited, therefore it must be a statement that named a name, the name of a murder. Judge thought it was so strange, because he was in any kind of danger, he would have insisted on police protection. He owned the police, and the whole town.He wouldn't let anybody kill himself unless, he was insane. She blamed Sydelle Pulaski because she wanted to read her notes of the will, but, she kept it to herself. The game: a tricky, divisive Westing game. No matter how much fear and suspicion he instilled in the players, Sam Westing knew that the greed will make them keep on playing, until the murder is captured. She knew Sam Westing was not murdered, but, one of the heirs were guilty, guilty about something against the relentless man. She knew she had to find the guilty one before the others do. She had to know everything about the heirs. She would start at Sunset Towers. She thinks that Barney Northrup, he to, would have to do something with the Westing game, she called him many many times until he answered, he said that since she was a judge he would help her out. She thought that since Sam Westing is dead, she could maybe but, maybe beat him at his own game. Just once. Later that day in the apartment's elevator Judge J.J Ford wrote,"I am having a informal party this evening from eight o'clock and on. You are all invited. Please come. When the Judge was instructing Theo in the art of bartender, the phone rang it was a snowbound newspaper man who found several items in the files. He said that their was a lawsuit against Sam Westing by a inventor named James Shin Hoo, Angela Wexler and Doctor Deere are engaged and, Doug Hoo runs a pretty fast mile. That is all he had for the Judge. It was along party the Judge had because, everybody thought that if you left fist, then you are a suspect. The way J.J Ford knows Sam Westing was her mother was a servant in the Westing House hold and father worked for railroad and was a gardener on his day off. Judge also knew him, because he paid for her tuition to school. He said she was a smart kid. After a long time her partner Sandy had a remarkable discovery, he found that Sikes-Sikes (Dr. Sikes witnessed the will) AM BrothER-Amber (Otis Amber) SHINing- (the middle name of James Shin Hoo or what Turtle kicks) Brother- Theo of Chris Theodorakis. The Judge liked it but, they wanted a name, not six. J.J Ford thought Sandy was not a dumb guy but, if only he was less obsequious-and less of a gossip. Sandy explained to the Judge that he doesn't understand why he is a heir. Unless Sam Westing was out to get them from his grave. Judge had to do something so she hired a investigator. After a while, they figured out everything about the heirs. Their age, full name, born, relationship to Sam Westing, and other general information. While investigating Sydelle Pulaski, figured it was strange how she fit in. Later relived Sam Westing made a mistake, instead of a Sybil Pulaski it's a Sydelle Pulaski. Soon enough, they realized that the person Sam Westing is out to get is the person who caused his daughter's death. One of the heirs is Mrs. Westing, and they have to protect her. In the begining, Sandy and the Judge thought that Otis was the suspect but, ditched the plan because realized he didn't have plastic surgery. Once again returning to the Westing house, they gave their answer. Their answer was,"we don't have a answer." When confession time came around with Turtle Wexler, and Crow was accused, judge defended her but, it was no use because, Crow, too knew she was the answer and confessed it, herself. Crow was arrested but, was not guilty. So, everything turned out good. They did not win thought. Judge J.J Fords position in the Westing Game is, Judge, Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court and the second time's position was, judge.
Later Years
With the money from the Westing Game she got to send Chris Theodorakis to college, to peruse his dream. She did a good deed because Sam Westing did the same for her. After all, she learned that her partner in the Westing Game was Sam Westings disguise. One day Judge became a judge on the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Still, she had never beaten Sam Westing in chess. He was a master at chess, and a detected games men.
