The way judicial districts are drawn is ridiculous. Black neighborhoods are purposely over-represented because the districts aren’t required to each contain a relatively similar number of people. So, you’ll have 10 districts, and 5 of them are black neighborhoods. The black districts are each maybe 20000 voters while the other 5 districts each have 100k+ voters in them. It’s a blatant violation of equal representation, yet has been allowed to stand for some reason despite similar systems for state legislatures and city councils being tossed out as unconstitutional.
Population doesn't matter as much as the number of cases. Those black districts see ten times the cases per capita.

The dishonorable Eboni Rose Johnson, ignorant clown who disgraced the courtroom on multiple occasions making horrendous serious legal decisions and was ultimately suspended decided to run again for her seat.
She ran unopposed and was re-elected.
Normal blacktivities.

That incredible.
How do they get by with that?
EBR has about 450K people. It’s easy, 10 districts each should be sbout 45K, right?
Unlike legislative seats that are representative (state and Congress) and thus need to have equal population, judicial seats are not representative in nature and thus do not need to be reapportioned. It's been years since most judicial districts have been reapportioned for most districts. That leads to way more judges per capita in rural, mostly north Louisiana. And it is also the reason it is politically difficult to change.

How in the hell is she sanctioned to run given her absolute disregard for proper jurisprudence. She should have been banned.
Supreme Court came close but didn't pull the trigger with enough votes for a majority.

I wish BTR was the exception

It unfortunate but it seems the judicial system as a whole is nothing but a glorified DMV intelligence wise. Same as the medical field. Not very encouraging.

The 19th JDC hates itself. Baton Rouge cannot course-correct when this is allowed to occur.
I've told my kids this. I've told anyone who will listen. You cannot ever put yourself in a position where a blue city's legal system has an upper hand over you. Because if so, you're already squarely behind the 8-ball. If you end up in a court like this, impartiality or fairness is done. You are completely in their world, and payoffs/bribes is how you navigate it. That's just the bottom line.
The only option is to make sure you're never there. Make sure you're never under their thumb. If you are, then your strategy better turn to working in their parameters.

She’s disgrace to what William Morvant represented. When I look back to the bench in the 19th when I started practicing-
When I started practicing in 1986, the 19th JDC bench was solid AF.
And good take on Judge Morvant. As a friend, I am biased, but he lived up to the "Honorable" title.

Was the best judge on the bench in Louisiana. Federal and State. Dude is solid.
