At the trial level in the state of Louisiana, the District Court is the court of general jurisdiction, handling all civil and criminal matters. Orleans Parish as well as the 1st, 19th, and 24th judicial districts are exceptions, where family and juvenile courts have exclusive jurisdiction over certain types of cases.
