The Parish Courts of Jefferson Parish, located in Metairie and Gretna, Louisiana, have been serving the East and West Banks of Jefferson Parish since their establishment by the Louisiana Legislature in the 1960s. These courts were created to address the legal needs of a growing population, handling traffic violations, misdemeanors, civil disputes, and civil claims up to $20,000.
With two judicial divisions in each court, as well as designated traffic courts, the Parish Courts of Jefferson Parish strive to provide necessary accommodations and interpreter services to ensure equal access to justice for all individuals. Their commitment to assisting those in need is reflected in their policy of making reasonable efforts to accommodate participants and visitors in any court proceedings or official business.
