11th JDC | The 11th JDC maintained a list of sign language interpreters, as well as interpreters for those needing language interpreters (Spanish). |
16th JDC | The 16th JDC judges worked with local officials to ensure the court’s physical facilities are in compliance with the ADA as a regular, ongoing activity of the Court. The court maintained a list of signage service providers to secure services as they may be needed and will continue to develop this resource list. Courtroom sound systems were monitored on a regular, ongoing basis and improvements made as needed. Individual judges and hearing officers make accommodations when requested. Also, the family court program allows parties to attend Hearing Officer Conferences via Skype or conference call if participation in person is difficult due to a medical condition or inability to travel, upon consent of the judge assigned to the case and with the proviso that the attorney for the party attend the conference in person provided that the attorney is granted the power to sign on behalf of the client binding them to a Consent Judgment if an agreement is reached. Assisted listening devices are available in courtrooms. Large monitors are maintained in hearing officer’s offices so that information may be presented visually if an individual is hearing-impaired. |
38th JDC | The 38th JDC is currently housed in the Cameron Parish Police Jury building while the courthouse is under renovations. The courthouse will be up to ADA standards once complete. |
