Online Legal Forms

Please note that not all forms are approved for all courts or agencies. We advise users to be careful when using forms from databases and ebooks. These forms can be useful templates. But every Louisiana court is different, so it's not guaranteed that your court will accept these forms. Plus, there may be additional steps or forms needed. Email or call the library if you need further help at library@lasc.org or 504-310-2400.

It is always in your best interest to speak to an attorney. An attorney may also be able to review your forms for you for a reduced fee. Visit the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Find Legal Help page for more information.
