It actually took me longer to walk from my parking spot around the corner than to handle my biz inside the courthouse.

I'll post again after my court date for 2 moving violtions. I haven't been issued so much as a parking ticket in well over 10 years so we shall see.

Traffic court is a place you do not want to find yourself. If you do, you've likely been issued a traffic citation, municipal summons, arrested for DWI or some municipal offense. Since many of you seem to be the type to be traffic scofflaws, I will attempt to share my vast knowledge in an attempt to help you. 1. If you get a parking ticket, don't come here. They can't help you. 2. Don't park in the spots out front. You'll be towed or at least leered at strongly. 3. Unjustly accused? Plead not guilty and get a court date. Will you win? That depends, but it's worth a shot. 4. Guilty as sin? Talk with the city attorney and hope they are amenable to a deal. 5. Municipal court? You shouldn't have gotten into a fight, smoked weed or peed in public. Come on dude. Really? I hope this review helps you next time you find yourself here. Note: one star because it's traffic court. No one likes traffic court.

I recently had the privilege and honor of spending three glorious days, well into the evening, at…read morethis court house serving jury duty. Before Monday, I had been called for jury duty (JD) one other time and we were dismissed due to lack of cases. I was not so lucky this time. Some basics: when you get your summons, you will have a number that you are assigned. This will be your number throughout the process, so don't forget it. Check the JP website the night before to see if you have to report. Parking: the parking garage is convenient and easy and your parking will be validated, so park there for easy access. I suggest getting there a little early to avoid the line going in, especially on busier days. Once you get there you will check in and then you just sit and wait for your name to be called. If you're lucky, you'll be called fast or dismissed. I was called immediately and I headed upstairs. The first trial I was a going to be a possible juror for was a criminal trial. After about two hours of group questioning, I was dismissed and sent back downstairs to wait to be called again. The jury I was actually picked for was a civil trial that lasted two solid days. Lucky me. More on that in a minute. On the day I was waiting to find out if I was going to be chosen, we were given 15 minutes to get something at the snack bar, eat it and get back to the jury pool room. Apparently, it was a busy day at the JP courthouse. The snack bar has a few sandwiches and other snacks, but if you can bring your own food, that will be even better. The actual serving of jury duty was okay. My judge was super cool and gave us lots of breaks, brought in breakfast and lunch and our jury "lounge" was packed with candy, coffee, soft drinks, water, chips, fruit, cookies and other goodies. The bailiffs really did the best they could to make the experience as comfortable as possible for us and constantly checked in to make sure that we had everything that we needed. There's WiFi in the jury room and you can have your phone as long as you aren't in the courtroom or deliberating on a verdict (this might have been just because I had a civil case, though. I'm not sure how criminal cases work with internet access). If you get picked, expect some long days. I didn't get out until after 7 on all three days that I was there. The worst part of the entire experience was the constant sitting around and not really moving. It does get boring after a while, especially when you are waiting for lawyers and other involved people to show up, so bring a book or other form of entertainment and bring a sweater because the courtroom gets really cold and bring your own snacks if you have dietary issues. When all is said and done you'll get a fancy certificate thanking you for your service, so feel free so show that to the jerk who you said you would never make anything of your life.

Thankfully I've mostly been in criminal court as a juror so that's the experience I'll talk about…read more (Mostly because I did have to attend a murder trial for a journalism class in college.) The jury room is in the basement and jurors are told to wear their juror badges visibly at all times. You may bring your cellphone to the jury pool room but don't let it ring if you're in a courtroom! My understanding is that if you're picked for a trial, cell phones are held by a member of the court staff until you're done for the day. The jury room is pretty boring but it's clean and their are bathrooms in the back corner. There are also vending machines but I usually brought my own snacks/beverage. There are magazines but they're not especially current and one TV was usually on... so I could catch up on the Price is Right. There is also a quiet room across the hall but it's too quiet for me. I found the staff very cordial and professional. They explained the process clearly and gave out certificates each day for those who need proof for their workplace. At the end of service (4 scheduled days... still way better than the 8 that it was last time I was called), you get a certificate proving service that lets you out of jury duty (both criminal and civil) for 2 years. Most days we were out by lunch. UNLESS you were called into voir dire for a possible trial. One batch of folks were at the courthouse until 8pm. So be prepared for that possibility. Finally photos are not allowed. You might accidentally take a photo of a juror or witness or someone and then put them at risk if the trial is a capital trial. Civic duty done!

Have you recently been accused of a felony?…read more Are you performing your civic duty as a juror? Are you a witness in a city where witnesses are afraid to come forward? Are you a lawyer? Are you the victim of a crime? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will likely find yourself here. While none of the aforementioned reasons are fun reasons to be here, the building does have redeeming qualities. From the outside, the building is beautiful. Many may disagree, but I've always found that this building has a strong presence on Tulane Avenue. Inside is equally impressive if you can get past the heat and sea of humanity. Speaking of the sea of humanity, be prepared to wait when you arrive. Everyone has to pass through magnetometers and be checked for weapons. Once through that process, finding your courtroom sometimes proves difficult. Apparently the judges get to pick courtrooms based on seniority so there is no rhyme or reason to the lettering system. It seems that should be fixed, but I guess it never will be. I do recommend taking the stairs if your section is on the upper floor. The elevators are awfully slow, plus the spiral stairs have character. If you're a witness use caution who is around you. I can imagine a criminal's associate would just love pushing you down the stairs. As for whether justice is served here, I will leave that for others to argue. I've been here many times and seen what I thought were serious miscarriages of justice, but who am I to make that determination? As for those who toil here day in and day out, I have the utmost respect for you. Dealing with criminals, reluctant witnesses, shoddy police work and arrogant judges must be difficult. If you don't have to, I don't recommend coming here. If you do, I hope you write a review.
