About St. John the Baptist Parish Court Docket

St. John the Baptist Parish court dockets and case records move through several official channels. The Clerk of Court keeps the court record, the Fortieth Judicial District Court sets and hears matters, and statewide or parish inquiry tools may help locate an index entry. This private reference explains how those channels fit together and points readers toward the office that holds the original record.

Why We Built This Site

Louisiana public access rules allow inspection of many court records, yet the path depends on the item. Felicia C. Feist, Clerk of Court, is the legal custodian for 40th JDC files. The court establishes divisions and settings, while eClerks LA and Clerk Connect can provide separate index or inquiry routes. A docket is not always the filed document, and a screen result is not a certified copy. The purpose here is to make those local distinctions plain before a reader contacts the correct custodian.

What You Will Find Here

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately run reference site. It has no connection to a Louisiana court, the St. John Clerk, or a state agency. Its limits are important:

  • We cannot pull an official docket sheet or case file for anyone
  • We cannot change, reschedule, or reset a court date or hearing setting
  • We cannot remove, seal, or amend a case on any docket
  • We cannot issue certified copies of any docket, order, or court document
  • We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
  • We cannot promise that a phone number, fee, or setting remains current at a particular moment

Only the Clerk of Court or the court that maintains a matter can issue its official or certified copy. A reader must obtain that document from the responsible office.
