21st Judicial District Attorney's Office

The Twenty First Judicial District is made up of Livingston, Tangipahoa, and St. Helena parishes. It is one of the largest districts in the state of Louisiana with a current population of over 260,000.
 

Home to Southeastern Louisiana University, which is one of the fastest growing universities in the nation, and Livingston parish being one of the fastest growing parishes/counties in the nation, our district continues to develop.

As the district changes, the District Attorney’s Office will change with it. An online newsletter and searchable court dockets are just two new options that are now available through this website. The page also contains  Information about the various programs and services offered by our office.

 As always, we hope to provide you with easy access to the information you need. I hope that this website proves to be both informative and helpful.

As District Attorney, I pledge the best efforts of my office to ensure the citizens of this great district the high quality prosecution agency it deserves.
