A Brief History of the Recorder's Courts of New Orleans: 1873

1873

No. 95.                     AN ACT
Establishing four Municipal Police Courts in the city of New Orleans, and defining the jurisdiction and officers thereof, and revealing all laws establishing recorders' courts, and providing for the transfer of the records from the recorders' courts to the said municipal police courts, and for other purposes.

 

This act got rid of the recorders courts and implemented municipal courts in their place. This plan would last only a few years, however,  before the recorders courts were restored.
