Welcome to my website, www.judgescottcrichton.com. I am honored to be serving my 20th year on the Caddo bench and to be one of eleven judges for the First Judicial District. My great grandfather, Andrew J. Murff, served as a Caddo district judge a century ago, 1906-1910. Perhaps it could be said that the legal profession, in particular, the judiciary, is in my DNA!
