Ferrer handled cases that ranged from armed robberies to
kidnappings and
first-degree murders as a Florida
circuit court judge. Every three weeks, he taped ten cases a day over three days previously in Houston where the show was based (In the 2010–2011 season the show moved to
Sunset Bronson Studios in Los Angeles); he then flew back home to
Miami, where he lives with his wife and two children. Using his
sense of humor, Ferrer was not overly harsh or given to mouthing off like some of his judicial counterparts, though he did keep a firm control over his courtroom and did not allow misconduct or disrespect. Ferrer's rulings were often prefaced by his explanation of the law at hand to his audience. ==References==
