‘LaPolitics’: Rare turnover coming for Louisiana district judges
Louisiana district judges face unusual turnover due to mandatory age 70 retirement and legislative changes, including the elimination of three criminal court judgeships in Orleans Parish. Judges like John Fuller, Rhonda Goode-Douglas, and Simone Levine are challenging colleagues or the law, creating competitive and confusing races for voters.
