The trial courts of Louisiana are District Courts, Juvenile Courts, Parish Courts, City Courts, Justice of the Peace Courts, Mayor's and Magistrate Courts, and some specialized courts in some parishes. There are District Courts and Justice of the Peace Courts in every parish; the other courts only exist in some parishes.Which court is the "main" court for your case depends on your location and type of case. District Courts can take any case, but generally won't take a case if it can be handled by a lower court.
