House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Robby Carter, requests the Judicial Council of the Supreme Court of Louisiana to conduct a study and provide recommendations on the feasibility of establishing a parishwide court in St. Helena Parish. The resolution highlights that St. Helena Parish is part of the Twenty-first Judicial District Court and falls under the jurisdiction of the First Circuit Court of Appeal. It emphasizes the role of the Judicial Council, which serves as the research arm for the Supreme Court and is composed of various legal representatives and citizens.

The resolution also references the authority granted to the Judicial Council under R.S. 13:61, which allows the council to establish standards and guidelines for determining the necessity of creating new judgeships across various court types, including parish courts. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to initiate a formal examination of the potential benefits and implications of creating a parishwide court in St. Helena Parish, with the findings to be communicated back to the legislature.
