READINESS FOR THE JOB

Lori Wilderson Jupiter is a 20-year member of the Louisiana Bar Association. Lori began her legal career as a practicing attorney. She moved to the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal and spent seventeen years as a Research Attorney working under the direction of Chief Judge Charles Jones, Judge Dennis Bagneris, Judge Madeleine Landrieu, and Judge Terrell Broussard, pro temp. Lori also worked in the Clerk’s Office as a staff attorney before accepting the position of Research Attorney for the Honorable Chief Justice Bernette Johnson.

I believe good judges have a sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to community values, have a thorough grounding in the law, and have a deep and abiding connection to the people whom they serve. The Civil District Court bench in Orleans Parish will provide me with an opportunity to ensure cases are docketed, set, and move through the court without delay. I understand the importance of securing the record for appellate review and the need for just compensation for litigants. I’m running because it’s time for me to use my skills in a way that will be more valuable to my community, the citizens of New Orleans. I humbly ask for your support.

Lori was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota after her parents relocated from New Orleans. Once settled in Minneapolis, it was rare for Lori’s family to miss a Mardi Gras. She met her husband of twenty-four years, Jerome Jupiter, while attending Xavier University. Lori and Jerome have five children. The couple raised their family Uptown, Gentilly, and now, New Aurora. Over the years the couple served as lectors at St. Leo the Great and attended Mater Dolorosa.

Lori is a certified doula and a certified yoga instructor who enjoys speaking on panels and working with Coats for The Community. Since 2017, Lori has served on Ochsner’s Women’s Wellness Committee. Presently, Lori volunteers her time to help families in the COVID-19 crisis, working with the Second Harvest Food Bank distributions sponsored by New Orleans City Council Members.
