Louisiana Attorney General Reports
1Opinion of the Court
Dear Mr. Stewart:
Your request for an Attorney General Opinion has been forwarded to me for research and reply. You asked the following questions:
May the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court employ an individual who has been arrested for or convicted of a crime?
Is there any provision in state or federal law that would prohibit the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court from hiring an individual who has had his record expunged?
Does any law require the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court to deny employment to a prospective employee who has expunged his juvenile delinquency record pursuant to LSA-Ch.C. art. 917 et seq?
