Requesting any Louisiana court records can be a difficult if not time consuming task. There are many parishes and court districts, all of which maintain their own specific court records of Louisiana. While many states have simplified and consolidated the number of types of courts that preside over any situation, Louisiana actually has nine different courts.

In order for any request for Louisiana court records to be fulfilled, the correct court must be petitioned using the correct forms. There are no uniform forms which apply to all courts. You will need to contact the correct court and make a formal request to receive either official or unofficial copies of any court records of Louisiana.

The majority of court cases are handled by three main courts. District Courts, Parish Courts and City Courts handle more cases than all of the other types of courts combined. It is advisable that you refer to the Louisiana state website to identify the specific you will need to contact.
