Louisiana Court Records

Accessing Louisiana Court Records

There are many courts in the judicial system of Louisiana. There are District courts, Family courts, Juvenile courts, Parish courts, City courts, Municipal courts, Traffic courts, Magistrate courts, and the Justice of Peace courts. So even before you begin your search for the record, it is essential to that you have some information on the legal structure, and it is also essential for you to know which court to approach. For example, if you want some information on small claims, you shouldn't be heading to the Juvenile court or the Family court for this. To get this information, you must go to the Parish court or the City court in Louisiana.

Similarly for paternity issues, you must go to the District court, Family court or the City court. There's no point in approaching the Municipal court. So, if you wish to access the court records, you must know the court that you need to approach.

Accessing Louisiana Court Records

Louisiana court records may be accessed in several ways. If you know the court that you need to approach, you can directly visit the Clerk's office there to make your request. If you cannot visit personally, then you can send over your application through the mail, or you can call, as well.

The easiest way to search for court records is to look up the Internet. Just provide the social security number of the person you want information on, and you can get the information you want. There are some restrictions of course. You cannot also get a copy of the record. For this, you have to visit the court.
