| Info | Nadine M. Ramsey, a proud native of New Orleans, was born October 17, 1955. She graduated from the Academy of Holy Angels High School and went on to attend Newcomb College where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science in 1977. Her next educational endeavor was law school. She attended Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York for one year where she was the recipient of the American Jurisprudence Prize in Constitutional Law, thereafter; she transferred to Tulane University School of Law where she received her Juris Doctor of Law degree in 1980.
Nadine started her professional career serving this great State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans, first as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Louisiana and then as an Assistant City Attorney. As an Assistant City Attorney she was a member of the legislative staff, which developed the City’s legislative package. She was also responsible for serving as the City’s liaison to the state legislature and was on the land use and zoning team.
During her professional career Nadine also served as a Law Clerk to the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal. From 1987-1996 she was engaged in the private practice of law. During that time she also served as General Counsel for the Louisiana Health Care Authority.
It was during those years of private practice that Nadine had the opportunity to serve as Judge ProTempore to the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court. She so enjoyed her time serving the public that it inspired her to run for public office. In 1996 she launched her first bid for public office with her run for an open district court judicial seat. Nadine was elected to the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, Division “J” on January 1, 1997.
During her tenure on the bench, Judge Ramsey adjudicated cases as a domestic judge and civil judge. She presided over cases involving simple, as well as complex litigation, including but not limited to, class actions involving toxic torts, contract disputes, expropriation of blighted properties and city tax and public bid laws. She was a knowledgeable, fair, impartial and efficient jurist who rendered her decisions based on the facts, law and evidence that were presented to the court. Judge Ramsey was honored to serve as Chief Judge in 2007 and 2008.
Very active in various professional and civic organizations, she is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, American Bar Association, National Bar Association, American Judges Association and Louis Martinet Legal Society. She is Past President and member of the New

Among the honors and awards she has received are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Community Service Award, Black Achiever in Business and Industry Award, Urban Essence Award, Positive Women and Men Award and St. Philip Community Center Mentoring and Volunteer Award. She was named a YWCA role model and in 1982 was selected by the Times Picayune as one of the “Women to Watch” in the Greater New Orleans Community.
Furthering her commitment to serve her community and profession, she is frequently called upon to speak at conferences and professional continuing legal education seminars.
