Pittman
Seventeen years on the bench. Hundreds of visits to local schools.
Through the Court’s Intervention Services, along with drug court and domestic violence programs, Judge Pittman has helped people rebuild their lives and find a path forward.
For Judge Pittman, justice isn’t only about punishment. It’s about creating opportunities for people to change their lives. That’s the approach she’s brought to New Orleans for the past 17 years.
About Judge Pittman
For 17 years, Judge Robin D. Pittman has served Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, Section F,
not just as a jurist, but as a neighbor, a mentor, and a voice for the people who stand before her.
Judge Robin D. Pittman was born and raised in New Orleans. She earned both her Bachelor of Arts, graduating cum laude, and her Juris Doctorate from Loyola University New Orleans, where the school’s Jesuit commitment to service and justice helped shape her approach to the law.
Before joining the bench, Judge Pittman served as an Assistant District Attorney, practicing in the Criminal District Court in Orleans Parish; worked as a Deputy Disciplinary Counsel overseeing attorney ethics; and practiced civil litigation at Baldwin Haspel Burke & Mayer. Those experiences gave her a broad understanding of the legal system from every angle, as a prosecutor, a regulator, and a practicing attorney.
When she decided to run for judge in 2009, it stemmed from more than career ambition. She saw a gap in representation. As she has said, “I realized that I really didn’t see many female judges in criminal district court.” She entered the race determined to help change that, and voters elected her to the bench. She has continued serving the people of Orleans Parish ever since.
Her leadership has extended well beyond the courtroom. In 2020, Judge Pittman was appointed by the Louisiana Supreme Court to the Judiciary Commission of Louisiana, where she served for four years and served as Chair for one of those years. In 2022, her fellow judges selected her to serve as Chief Judge of Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, where she was to oversee court operations and help guide policy and administrative decisions. In 2025, she was elected and continues to serve as President of the Louisiana District Judges Association, representing district judges across the state.
For Judge Pittman, public service has never been limited to the courtroom. Whether she’s presiding over cases, speaking with students, or engaging with neighborhoods throughout New Orleans, she remains committed to the community she has called home her entire life.

Where Justice Meets the Community
Judge Pittman’s commitment to New Orleans does not end when court adjourns. She is in the schools, at community events, and in the neighborhoods — investing in the people she serves every day of the week.
“Some of the moments that stay with me most are when I run into people around this city who appeared in the courtroom — people who were given a second chance. They look me in the eye and say thank you.”
