[edit]

I request that a section be added for the wealth of controversy surrounding this guy. Not the least of which is his mass firing of employees raising strong suspicions of racist motivations.

If you can add factual information, go for it. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 00:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Federal Lawsuit

[edit]

Somebody is going to say I am the wrong person to fix it but the facts added by the anon editor 130.39.152.239 were wrong. Mr. Jordan was not found guilty, he was found liable. You cannot be found guilty in a civil suit. Second, the total number of employees is 43 not 53. Third, Mr. Jordan has stated that he did not know the race of those he fired not that they were replaced by African Americans by a “coincidence.” I have added some sources to support these changes. This a hot topic in New Orleans. I suspect the anon editor 130.39.152.239 has a relative who was fired and is basing this on personal information and not cited material. The IP traces back to a LSU dorm room. Please have sources for any changes. Thanks. Nolamgm 16:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jordon didn't know the race of those he fired? (I'm not related to any of them)

He certainly didn't fire them based on performance records! The ADA's fired had dozens of years of experience and good prosecution records. His chosen replacements either hadn't passed the bar yet or failed it!

These "replacements" are much ridiculed in New Orlean's legal circles for incompetence. I was told that Mr. Jordon was "asked to leave" the the prestigious law firm of Sessions, Fishman, & Nathan, before he decided to ride the Morial machine to a Clinton appointment. After Sessions he was "of counsel" to Roy Rodney's older firm, Mr. Rodney's records from that period are now the focus of FBI scrutiny as is his main client, Morial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Statedrive (talk • contribs) 19:51, February 1, 2007

I can't believe I'm actually getting involved in this. but for beginners, the above two parts are completely wrong. Jordan did not fire any attorneys in the controversy, it was only investigators. Jordan did not fire any ADAs en masse when he took office. He could not have replaced attorneys with people who, "hadn't passed the bar yet or failed it," because Louisiana Revised Statute Chapter 16, section 51, paragraph B requires that all assistants be admitted to practice law in the state. You cannot be admitted to practice law unless you have passed the bar exam. As for the, "ridicule," that the assistants are supposed to be receiving from the, "legal circles," that is complete bullshit. The legal community does not hold Jordan's actions against the individual assistants, and realizes that they are usually hamstrung by the bureaucracy above them. They are seen for what they actually are: young, inexperienced lawyers trying to make the best with what they have. The trial-level assistants (junior and senior attorneys in the trials division) who last long enough are generally respected by their opponents and the judges. Any criticism of an assistant is usually brought upon by their own actions, and the fact that Jordan is their boss is not held against them. Listen, I dislike Eddie Jordan as much as the next guy, if not more. But what you say above insults the majority of the attorneys in the office who have nothing to do with his actions.
