Thank god she lost the appellate court seat.

However, given the nepotism and the BR machine, she’ll probably never lose her district court seat.

If you knew the law at all you’d know you can’t disbar a woman named Eboni.

I loathe that we elect judges in this state, but if we're going to stick with that process for our judiciary, we should at least expand the elections so that they aren't limited to a candidate's particular district. This is especially true for supreme court justices; they make decisions that impact the law in the entire state, yet only those who reside in a candidate's district can vote for that justice. Also, if we are going to stick with judicial elections, we must change the current law that exempts judges from recall (judges are the only elected officials in the state who are statutorily exempt from recall).

It was 4-3 and it was a consent discipline.

McCallum's dissent laid it out perfectly. She got a 9 month paid vacation plus a $15k bonus.

the 19th JDC is a complete dumpster fire and this SC ruling further reinforces what a clown show the Louisiana justice system is.

Anyone unfortunate enough to get Queen Eboni ruling on their case should immediately file an appeal.

Not a fan of McCallum, but he's absolutely right.


ETA... Apparently, Jay reads this board.

Rose’s father and uncle are also judges in the 19th District. Her uncle is former Chief Judge Don Johnson. While on suspension, she ran for a seat on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal and lost.

Just like Wilson Fields, it is much better if she won the appellate seat because then she’d be on a panel of three and can do a lot less harm

And no one with a law degree from Southern should be allowed to be a judge.

I couldn't find specifically how each justice voted but based on the justice comments it was:

Concurr
5th Jefferson D. Hughes III Republican Louisiana State
7th Piper D. Griffin Democratic Louisiana State
2nd John Guidry Democratic Southern
3rd Cade Cole Republican Tulane

Dissent
John L. Weimer, Chief Justice Independent Louisiana State
1st William J. Crain Republican Louisiana State
4th Jay McCallum Republican Louisiana State

I agree. the last time i was before Wilson Fields, he admonished me for attempting to continue my argument while the opposing attorney was trying to interrupt. it may be relevant that my client and i were the only white people in the room.

This is the biggest joke. Typical Louisiana . I could do a better job and didn’t go to law school.

Read Cole's concurrence. He basically threw up his hands and said the only people being sanctioned were taxpayers but he was concurring because if it dragged out, her paid vacation would be longer.
