June 12, 2022 - Criminal District Court to Operate Remotely

"(New Orleans, Louisiana) Criminal District Court was shocked by the news received this evening from Sheriff Susan Hutson that deputies would be removed from the courthouse leaving the court with no security for approximately two weeks. Criminal District Court has several jury trials and other pertinent hearings scheduled this week and next week. We are hoping for a quicker resolution to this matter. 

Due to the lack of security, the court building will be closed but proceedings will be conducted daily virtually at least for Monday and Tuesday.

All parties should utilize the Court’s website at www.criminalcourt.org for access to the individual section of Court."
