    Part 2 | Lindon Magee | Candidate for Judge Louisiana Division L
    Oct 14 2024
    Chief Judge Blair Edwards announced the establishment of Division L within the 21st Judicial District Court to manage the rising caseloads in Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Helena parishes, with a particular focus on juvenile cases. In this episode, Lindon Bennett MaGee, a candidate for the Judge’s seat, discusses her motivations to run and the necessity of Division L. Lindon, a local attorney with a decade of experience, highlights the overwhelming case numbers due to increased population and pandemic-related judicial delays.

    She shares her early influences, including her mother and the character Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird), which shaped her passion for justice and helping underserved communities. Lindy commits to addressing juvenile crime and emphasizes the need for judges to balance legal acumen with empathy. As her campaign progresses, she encourages community engagement ahead of the November 5 election and expresses her dedication to fostering an equitable judicial system for all residents.
