HOW DOES THE SUPREME COURT DECIDE WHICH CASES TO HEAR? As stated earlier, the Louisiana Supreme Court must hear all cases involving disciplinary actions against lawyers and judges, all cases in which a law or ordinance has been declared unconstitutional, and all capital cases where the death penalty has been imposed.

The term of a supreme court judge is 10 years, and the judge with seniority on the supreme court shall serve as the chief judge. The Louisiana Constitution (Const. Art. V, §8(A)) requires that the state be divided into at least four circuits, each having a court of appeal.

The seven justices on the Louisiana Supreme Court are selected through partisan elections. Justices are elected to 10-year terms, and must face re-election if they wish to serve again. Unlike most states, supreme court justices in Louisiana are elected to represent specific districts.
