The Louisiana Constitution of 1921 provided “that no woman shall be drawn for jury service unless she shall have previously filed with the clerk of the District Court a written declaration of her desire to be subject to such service.” Art. 7 § 41. This language entered the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure:
Art. 402. Service of Women as jurors
A woman shall not be selected for jury service unless she has previously filed with the clerk of court of the parish in which she resides a written declaration of her desire to be subject to jury service.
