The resolution, introduced by Representative Robby Carter, requests the Judicial Council of the Supreme Court of Louisiana to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing a parishwide court in St. Helena Parish. St. Helena Parish is currently part of the Twenty-first Judicial District Court and falls under the jurisdiction of the First Circuit Court of Appeal. The Judicial Council, which serves as the research arm for the Supreme Court, is responsible for evaluating the necessity of creating new judgeships and judicial offices based on established standards and guidelines.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of this study in determining whether a parishwide court would be beneficial for St. Helena Parish. It also outlines the composition and authority of the Judicial Council, which includes representatives from various legal and governmental organizations. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Judicial Council to initiate the study and recommendations process.
