Dear Mr. Picard:
This is in response to your request of December 10, 2008, regarding the jurisdiction of the City Court of Lafayette and those who can elect the judges and marshal of the court.
You have provided the following facts: The City of Carencro has annexed an area known as French Colony, which is located in the Third Ward of Lafayette Parish. The remainder of Carencro is located in the Sixth Ward of Lafayette Parish. Carencro has no city court, and there are two justices of the peace and two constables in the Sixth Ward.
Since your request concerns only the justice of the peace courts…
