WARNING
Orleans Parish Criminal District Court has received reports that individuals purporting to be judges and officers of the Court are making fraudulent representations with respect to issuance of jury summonses. These prank calls to citizens are requesting payment from individuals on behalf of the Court for failure to appear for jury service duty.
In those calls, scammers are also attempting to arrange in-person meetings while falsely claiming to represent the Court. Please be advised that no one should meet with any individual claiming to act on behalf of the Court. Any such requests should be reported immediately.
Please be aware that Criminal District Court does not and will not request payment from individuals in connection with jury service duty. Should any citizen receive a call demanding payment and/or threatening arrest, please contact the New Orleans Police Department to report the call and provide as much information as possible.
Please do not send money to any caller purporting to be a representative of the Court.
Questions may be directed to the Court’s Jury Commission Office at 504.658.9200.
