It is with great pleasure to announce The Honorable Kern A. Reese as our November Member of the Month! Judge Reese has earned the reputation as a fair and temperate jurist. He is recognized for his involvement in professional organizations, as a teacher, coach, community leader, and mentor to the youth and aspiring attorneys. Judge Reese is a graduate of St. Augustine High School, Pomona College in Claremont, California and Loyola University School of Law. Judge Reese has served as an Associate Adjunct Professor of Tulane University School of Law for more than two decades and at Loyola University School of Law.
Judge Reese has also served as a continuing education instructor and panelist for the Louisiana Bar Association, New Orleans Bar Association, Louisiana Association for Justice, Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel, American Board of Trial Advocates, the Louis A. Martinet Legal Society, Loyola Black Law Students Association and CLE of Louisiana, LLC.
Recently, Judge Reese has devoted his time to launching an outpatient treatment court as a way of overseeing mental health treatment for people with difficult cases. This program serves as an intervention program which will not only provide accountability but will hopefully keep those persons out of the criminal justice system. Judge Reese is an incredibly supportive and invaluable member of our Chapter, and we are proud to announce him as our Member of the Month!
