He is the author of two books, Genetic Fingerprinting: The Law and Science of DNA Evidence and Blood Trail.

During his tenure on The People's Court, his on-bench demeanor was somewhat less gruff and volatile than that of his wife. He displayed more humor and was straightforward, often registering mock indignation whenever litigants referred to him (as they sometimes did) as "Judge Judy's husband."
