I thinkk Brown's father was insurance commissioner. All our commissioners, insurance, end up in jail. I mean it,,it is sort of a tradition.
A tradition..LOL!
As a district judge, Clement presided over such high-profile cases as the 2000 trials of former Louisiana governor Edwin W. Edwards (D) and former state insurance commissioner Jim Brown (D) on fraud charges. Edwards was acquitted; Brown was convicted of lying to the FBI and sentenced to six months in prison.
Lawyers who know Clement or have tried cases before her describe her as a judicial conservative who leans toward the defense in civil cases, and as a no-nonsense judge who is strict about deadlines and insists on professionalism from lawyers.
Jim Brown was insurance commissioner, and before that secretary of state, and before that, a state senator from Ferriday, hometown of Jimmy Swaggart. He ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1991, I believe, or maybe it was 1987.
