Act 77 was an act to amend and reenact Subsection A of Section 691 of Title 13 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 pertaining to judicial salaries. The annual salary of each of the several district judges, including the civil district court judges and the criminal district court judges of the parish of Orleans, the judges of the juvenile court of the parish of Orleans, the parish of Caddo, and the judge of the family court of East Baton Rouge Parish, shall be Fifteen Thousand Dollars, payable monthly by the state treasurer upon the warrant of the judge, provided, that notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.13:692 or any other law, in no case shall the total salary from all sources of any judge covered by the provisions of this Subsection be less than fifteen thousand dollars per annum nor shall such total salary from all sources exceed the annual salary fixed by law for judges of the courts of appeal. In the event the total salary payable from all sources to any judge covered by this Subsection on the effective date of this act exceeds the salary provided by law for judges of the courts of appeal, the salary payable by the parish or parishes comprising the judicial district, under authority of R.S. 13:692, shall be reduced proportionately and to the extent necessary to make the total salary from all sources equal to but not greater than the salary paid to judges of the courts of appeal.
