In In Re: Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts, No. 2025-O-01127, Supreme Court of Louisiana (December 11, 2025) the Louisiana Supreme Court in an opinion by Chief Justice Weimer dealt with the recommendation of the Judiciary Commission of Louisiana (Commission) that Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts be removed from office for:
1. making false and misleading statements regarding her judicial campaigns;
2. making false and misleading statements to police investigating the reported burglary of her car; and
3. withholding information and providing false, incomplete, or misleading information during the investigation by the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), as well as in the proceedings before the Commission.
KEY FACTS
Complaint & Investigation:
In May 2021, an anonymous complaint led to an investigation that the judge made false and misleading statements during judicial campaigns about military service — claiming to be a U.S. Army captain and combat veteran of Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan, when she actually served stateside as a nurse and was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant.
In addition she made false and misleading statements to police regarding a reported car burglary, including misrepresenting the location of the incident and withheld information and provided false, incomplete, or misleading information during the OSC investigation and Commission proceedings.
The Commission found that the statements regarding Respondent's military service were false and misleading in several ways:
1. serve in any capacity during Operation Desert Storm, which took place in 1991, when she was only 16 years old.
2. her claim that she was a veteran of three wars gave the false impression that she served in combat areas overseas. She did not.
3. her claim that she obtained the rank of captain in the Army was also false and misleading.
4. her pattern of misleading information extended to the investigation of the car burglary and subsequent insurance claim.
5. her initial failure to disclose the USAA claim, her misleading statements regarding the location of the burglary, her failure to mention the additional insurance claim, and her contradictory explanations all indicated that she withheld information or provided inaccurate information.
FINDINGS
The Commission found clear and convincing evidence of repeated dishonesty, lack of candor, and attempts to mislead the public, police, insurance company, and the Commission itself.
LEGAL PRINCIPLES & VIOLATIONS
Code of Judicial Conduct Violations:
Violations of Canons 1, 2(A), 7(A)(9), 7(B)(1), and 7(B)(2), which require judges to uphold integrity, avoid impropriety, and be honest in campaign representations.
Louisiana Constitution Article V, § 25(C):
Provides grounds and procedures for judicial discipline, including removal from office for misconduct proven by clear and convincing evidence.
Purpose of Discipline:
The primary goal is to protect the public and preserve the integrity of the judiciary, not merely to punish the judge.
OUTCOME
Removal from Office:
The Supreme Court adopted the Commission’s recommendation, ordering Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts’s removal from office, barring her from qualifying for judicial office for five years, and requiring reimbursement of investigation costs.
SIGNIFICANCE
The court emphasized that honesty and trustworthiness are essential judicial qualities. Persistent dishonesty, especially in campaign representations and official investigations, irreparably damages public confidence in the judiciary and warrants the most severe sanction—removal from office.
Respondent's misconduct constitutes a severe and irreparable impact on the integrity of and respect for the judiciary. Here, Respondent has gone beyond mere misrepresentation that misled the public: she created a campaign sign falsely stating that she was an Army captain, paid for multiple campaign ads that reiterated this untruth, falsely conveyed to voters that she was a combat veteran of three wars, and lied to the police about where the burglary of her car occurred, despite the investigating officer's words inviting clarification.
ORDER
The Supreme Court ruled that Respondent, Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts be immediately suspended and disqualified from exercising any judicial functions.
ZALMA OPINION
Judges whose job is to provide justice to the public must be as clean and pure as Ceasar's wife. To blatantly commit insurance fraud and create a situation of stolen valor claiming to be a combat veteran in multiple areas around the world when she actually served as a nurse in the United States, never achieved a rank greater than lieutenant when she claimed to be a Captain, and lied during the investigation of Judiciary Commission caused the Supreme Court to remover her from office and purged the judiciary of any taint.

“The Passover Seder For Americans”
For more than 3,000 years Jewish fathers have told the story of the Exodus of the enslaved Jews from Egypt. Telling the story has been required of all Jewish fathers. Americans, who have lived in North America for more than 300 years have become Americans and many have lost the ability to read, write and understand the Hebrew language in which the story of Passover was first told in the Torah.
