Court Records

To the left you will find all of the court records we have online. If you have records, I'd love to have them for inclusion on this site. If you know of an ancestor's name that may have records, email me and I'll see if I can find them. You can also check the Orleans Parish Archives.

Civil District Court is a court of general civil jurisdiction. In every Louisiana Parish except Orleans there is one District Court with both Civil and Criminal jurisdiction. In Orleans Parish, the Civil and Criminal District Courts are legally distinct and located in separate buildings. The Clerk of Civil District Court is located on the 4th floor of 421 Loyola Avenue. All suits, pleadings, exhibits, wills, promissory notes, etc. pertaining to actions initiated or pending in the Civil District Court are filed with the Clerk of Civil District Court.

The Civil Sheriff's Office handles all matters pertaining to service of process and judicial sales of matters filed with the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, among its other duties. The Civil Sheriff's Office operates independant of the Clerk of Civil District Court.

In Orleans Parish, the Mortgage Office, Conveyance Office, and Notarial Archives are not part of the office of the Clerk of Court. Documents that are to be recorded in the Mortgage or Conveyance records for Orleans Parish must often first be filed with Notarial Archives. Information about these offices can be found on this website. "
