Judge Alex is an American arbitration-based reality court show presided over by retired police officer, lawyer, and Florida Judge Alex Ferrer.
The series premiered on September 12, 2005, replacing Texas Justice on most of its stations, and ended on May 21, 2014.
Ferrer handled cases that ranged from armed robberies to kidnappings and first-degree murders as a Florida circuit court judge.
[citation needed] 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.
Ferrer's rulings were often prefaced by his explanation of the law at hand to his audience.
