Biography

The Hon. Belvin Perry, Jr. (Ret.) served as a judge for the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. Perry was elected to the bench in 1988. He retired on August 31, 2014, and became a personal injury attorney at Morgan & Morgan.


The 9th Judicial Circuit encompasses Osceola County and Orange County. Perry held assignments in Osceola County, sitting as the Chief Judge for the 9th Judicial Circuit (1995 to 1999; 2001 to 2014). He acquired national attention as the presiding judge for the Casey Anthony murder trial. He was also the first African-American to be elected to the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court.


Perry earned a bachelor's degree in history (1972) and an M.Ed. in student personnel services (1974) from Tuskegee University. He then completed a J.D. at Texas Southern University, Thurgood Marshall School of Law, in 1977.


After graduating from law school, Perry returned to Florida and joined the Office of the State Attorney for the 9th Judicial Circuit. He started as a trial attorney in the Misdemeanor and Traffic Division (1977 to 1979) before moving to the Felony Division (1979 to 1980). He quickly rose through the ranks, serving as Chief of the Felony Division (1980 to 1982) and Chief of the Criminal Intake Division (1982 to 1988). Then, in 1988, he was appointed Chief Assistant State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, helping to establish the office's Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Unit.


His memberships have included the Paul C. Perkins Bar Association and the Orange County Bar Association. He was also involved with the Florida Supreme Court Criminal Court Steering Committee, the Florida Supreme Court Local Rule Advisory Committee, the Florida Supreme Court Commission on Fairness (Guardianship Subcommittee), the Florida Supreme Court Committee on Post-Conviction Relief in Capital Cases, and the Orange County Jail Oversight Committee.


Perry served as president of the National Conference of Metropolitan Courts. He chaired the Florida Innocence Commission, the Trial Court Budget Commission, the Criminal Justice-Public Safety Coordinating Council, and the Statewide Revision 7 Communications Advisory Group. He is also on the Board of Trustees for Florida A&M University and the Board of Trustees at Bethune-Cookman.


He is a recipient of the Jurist of the Year Award from the Florida Chapters of the American Board of Trial Advocates (2009), the Trial Judge of the Year Award from the Central Florida Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (2009), and the Jurist of the Year Award from the Hispanic Bar Association of Central Florida (2005).


Perry was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, and graduated from Jones High School. His father was one of the first two African-American police officers hired by the Orlando Police Department, and his mother worked as a public school teacher.
