Judge Judy’s doing her alma mater justice.
With a song in her heart and school spirit coursing through her veins, Judge Judith “Judy” Sheindlin took a brief break from swinging her gavel to sing James Madison High School’s fight song with Jimmy Kimmel’s aunt.
The “Judy Justice” star, 82, belted out the anthem with fellow Brooklynite and alum Concetta “Aunt Chippy” Potenza, 85, during an impromptu duet Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“Madison, we’re ever loyal to thee. Madison, we will be true,” chanted the native New Yorkers in a video shared exclusively with The Post. “Our alma mater, we ever cherish for all our sons and daughters, too.”
The in-sync icons both graduated from James Madison, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
It’s a milestone that Sheindlin is thrilled to celebrate. However, her honor’s excitement stems from a little more than mere school pride.
“I’m so happy that something older than I am is still around,” she joked to The Post.
Her much-ballyhooed school, a landmark of Midwood, Brooklyn, boasts a star-studded roster of A-list graduates, including the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Carole King and Chris Rock.
And its cheer is a jaunty tune that’s stuck with Sheindlin throughout the years.
“It’s amazing how certain things that you learn in your childhood remain etched in your brain forever,” said the jurist. “For a brief moment, Chippy and I were 15 again!”
Sheindlin and Potenza happily bumped into one another at “The Power of Love — Keep Memory Alive Community Leadership” gala over the weekend.
The fête is an annual fund-raiser for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which aims to find and facilitate research for brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis.
During the ceremony, Sheindlin presented longtime friends Lovee and Bob Arum with the Community Leadership Award for their philanthropic commitment to Keep Memory Alive.
Kimmel, 57, a native of Las Vegas, was also honored at the event. The late-night host was warmly toasted by a few of his closest VIP pals, such as Kristen Bell, Billy Crystal and Anthony Anderson.
“When I was in high school at Clark High School, I delivered pizza and one of the cassette tapes I would listen to was a Billy Crystal comedy album,” Kimmel said between commendations.
“If you had told me that 40 years later, he would fly out here three weeks after his house burned down to honor me, I wouldn’t have been able to wrap my head around it,” he added regarding the devastating LA wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes.
