Eddie Jack Jordan Jr. (born October 6, 1952) is an American attorney who served as the district attorney for Orleans Parish, Louisiana, from 2003 until his resignation in 2007. A member of the Democratic Party, Jordan was the first African American to have held the elected position. He announced his resignation on October 30, 2007, when a court rendered a large judgment against his office on behalf of white employees that the D.A. had earlier dismissed on account of their race.
