What courts are the main trial courts of Louisiana?
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. District Court criminal cases are usually felonies, and District Court civil cases are usually for higher dollar amounts.Which cases are actually handled by which courts also depends on which parish the case is in, so it can't be answered in this space. But the related link below has a good summary of Louisiana courts' jurisdiction, and you can then select a parish and check the websites for all the courts in that parish.

Why should judges exercise judicial restraint?
Judicial restraint is important because without it courts will be tempted to rewrite laws through interpretation rather than simply to confirm or reject the constitutionality of a law. When a court rejects the constitutionality of a law, it should not attempt to fix the problem, rather it should remand the matter back to Congress for revision. Unfortunately for justice, courts often fail to enact constitutionally mandated restraint.

In contrast, advocates of judicial restraint believe courts should defer to elected officials and uphold laws as written, limiting their role to interpreting rather than making policy. These perspectives influence debates on issues such as civil rights, social justice, and the balance of power among government branches.
