JUDGES/JUSTICE OF PEACE: Requests the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study of the handling of eviction proceedings by justice of the peace courts

This bill directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study on how justice of the peace courts manage eviction cases. The investigation will examine whether the courts' structure, funding methods, and procedures affect fairness for both tenants and landlords. Specifically, the study will look at issues like legal training for judges and potential conflicts of interest arising from filing fees. The institute must submit its findings and recommendations to the state legislature by February 1, 2027.
