Former Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. has a new job.

He has joined the Morgan and Morgan law firm.

During a news conference Tuesday, Perry was joined by John and Matt Morgan where the former judge discussed his transition from the bench and plans for the future.

Perry was Orange County's first African-American judge and served for 18 years.

As chief judge, Perry presided over the Casey Anthony murder trial in 2011.
