Ouachita & Morehouse Parish
Adam Cossey
For District Judge
The right kind of experience for the bench.
Adam Cossey has spent his career in the courtroom, trying cases before juries, arguing appeals before the highest courts, and guiding clients through the law’s toughest questions. That is exactly the kind of experience a judge needs. It takes sound judgment to weigh the facts, a deep command of the law to rule with confidence, and the instinct that only comes from years of doing the work. That is what Adam will bring to the bench for the people of Ouachita and Morehouse Parish.

About Adam
Adam is a partner at Hudson, Potts & Bernstein, Northeast Louisiana's oldest and largest law firm, founded in 1875, and a former president of the 4th Judicial District Bar Association. He has extensive courtroom experience, handling cases not only throughout Louisiana, but nationwide, from Texas to North Carolina. He has represented everyone from individuals, families, and local municipalities to national corporations and firearms manufacturers. Those cases have spanned everything from multimillion dollar class actions and constitutional litigation to boundary disputes and misdemeanors.
Adam also maintains an active appellate practice, having argued before eight different state and federal appellate courts. A member of the United States Supreme Court Bar, he persuaded the nation's highest court to grant a writ of certiorari for a local client, a step the high court takes in less than 1% of cases brought before it.

What I Stand For
Impartiality
Every person who enters the courtroom deserves a fair, unbiased hearing, decided on the law and facts, not politics or connections.
Experience That Matters
Decades in the courtroom as a trial and appellate lawyer mean a judge who understands the law, the rules, and the people it affects.
Integrity & Transparency
The bench is a public trust. The community deserves a judge who is prepared, principled, and accountable.
Respect for the Rule of Law
A judge applies the law as written, protecting rights, upholding the Constitution, and treating everyone equally before the court.
