Linus Bernadotte Forsling (March 23, 1891 – May 2, 1970) was an American lawyer, politician, and judge.
A Sioux City, Iowa, native born on March 23, 1891, Forsling attended city schools, and earned his law degree at the Cumberland School of Law, which was affiliated with Cumberland University at the time. Forsling returned to Sioux City to set up his legal practice in 1915. Three years later, he began serving as Sioux City police judge.[1]
