East Feliciana Parish Court Calendars Explained
Start with the official East Feliciana Clerk Court Dates page. It is a monthly schedule. Each date links out to that day's docket details. The listings cover both district-court divisions and currently run into January 2027. Remember that the calendar is live information, not a fixed archive. Use it to spot a date, a judge, and a division. Confirm those details with the court before you rely on any setting.
The calendar has firm limits. It is not a full-text case search. A listing there does not prove a matter was heard, continued, dismissed, or resolved. It is a date-based entry point. That entry point serves the Twentieth Judicial District Court of Louisiana, East Feliciana Parish division. The daily docket adds context for one particular date. The clerk remains the office to call for current status and record copies.
When you note an East Feliciana Parish court date, write down the calendar URL. Add the date you checked, the division, and any visible docket number. Those details let the clerk pull the right daily list fast. That matters when a setting moved, a minute entry is needed, or you want a copy of a record.
East Feliciana Parish Monthly Court Dates Index
The East Feliciana Parish monthly index groups its dates by judge and division. Division A belongs to Judge Kathryn E. Jones. Division B belongs to Judge Sydney Picou Walker. If you know only a date or a division, that structure gets you to the right daily list. Then you can make a narrow request of the clerk. It will not help when the date is unknown. That job still belongs to a case-number search.
The official Court Dates index is where the clerk posts these monthly listings.
Read the monthly index as a schedule. Used that way, the date lookup stays tied to its intended public purpose rather than to a final case-history database.
Finding Your Court Date
Let your identifier pick the route. A known East Feliciana Parish scheduled day points to the clerk calendar. A civil, family, probate, or land record points to the matching eClerks index. A qualifying criminal case filed in 2020 or later points to eClerks Criminal Search. None of these online paths replaces the clerk. If the date has moved, go to the clerk directly. Do the same if the case is restricted.
- Open the Court Dates calendar and select the monthly date and daily docket for the known 20th JDC division.
- Read the daily page for its date, judge, division, and docket-number fields without republishing party information.
- For a case search rather than a date search, use eClerks Statewide Portal for its relevant index category or eClerks Criminal Search for qualifying criminal minute entries.
- Call the East Feliciana Parish Clerk of Court at 225-683-5145 with the date, division, docket number if known, and case type.
- Inspect records at the clerk counter at 12305 St. Helena St., Clinton, or email David Dart at david@eastfelicianaclerk.org with a narrow request.
East Feliciana publishes no daily printed calendar, text reminder program, or stated policy on courthouse public terminals. A calendar entry being online does not mean a complete remote-appearance rule exists either.
East Feliciana Parish Court Date Divisions
East Feliciana's primary state trial court is the 20th JDC. It serves both East and West Feliciana Parishes. For an East Feliciana matter, the courthouse sits at 12220 St. Helena Street in Clinton. The East Feliciana Parish Clerk of Court sits across the street. Its address is 12305 St. Helena Street. Keep the two offices straight. A court-date question can turn into a request for a judgment, a filing, or a certified copy. It matters then.
The 20th JDC FAQ also names the sheriff's red-brick building at 11315 Bank Street for certain fine payments. That route is separate from the clerk's records work. A Clinton Mayor's Court date is separate too. The town says Mayor's Court meets every third Monday at 9:00 a.m. at Town Hall. Its local citation process does not appear on the 20th JDC calendar.
How to Read a Court Setting
Treat the daily docket as a live snapshot of one court date. Each East Feliciana daily layout shows a date, judge, division, clerk, reporter, bailiff, docket number, plaintiff or court ID, and defendant. Not every matter gets its own time or courtroom field. Do not invent one from a generic calendar pattern.
| Date | The scheduled calendar day displayed on the daily docket. |
|---|---|
| Judge | The judge assigned to the listed division for that day. |
| Division | Division A or Division B context for the 20th JDC setting. |
| Docket Number | The case identifier to use when confirming a matter with the clerk. |
| Clerk, Reporter, Bailiff | Operational fields shown on the daily page; they are not proof of an outcome. |
A setting can take many forms. It may be an appearance, motion, status event, hearing, trial-related event, or other scheduled court action. If the label alone does not tell you what the court did, read the minute entry or ask the clerk.
East Feliciana Parish Daily Docket Fields
The East Feliciana Parish daily detail page opens from the Court Dates calendar. It is a date-based list. It is not a complete minute history. Its fields run Date, Judge, Division, Clerk, Reporter, Bailiff, Docket Number, Plaintiff (Court ID), and Defendant. A name on a daily list establishes nothing about a result. It does not show liability, conviction, payment status, or final judgment.
The official daily docket layout shows these fields on the clerk's site.
The field layout helps you ask the clerk a focused question. Do not copy personal values from a live daily docket into a public summary.
Continuances, Resets, and Cancellations
East Feliciana Parish court dates move around. A daily docket is a snapshot, not a promise. A hearing shown today may be reset by tomorrow. The parish publishes no single rule covering continuances, same-day changes, remote appearances, or holiday exceptions. So treat the online calendar as a starting point only. Does a setting look close or unclear? Confirm it with the division or the clerk directly.
One more caution matters here. A date that vanished from the calendar tells you nothing about why. The move could be a continuance, a scheduling change, a sealed matter, or some other court action. Only the minute entry, an order, or the clerk can supply that context. If your civil or criminal record search turns up a date, Case Lookup helps you pick the right statewide route. Use it before you make a clerk request.
East Feliciana Parish Court Date Confirmation
A good East Feliciana Parish confirmation request names the court date, the division, and the docket number if known. It also lists the case type and your specific question. The clerk's public-records guidance permits in-person examination without an ordinary appointment. It names David Dart as the public-record contact for other records. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Match your request to the right office. The clerk handles East Feliciana Parish docket questions, judgment copies, and minute-record requests. Transcripts go through the court reporter at the judge's office. The 20th JDC FAQ says that route applies. It also says a fee is involved. A state appeal belongs with the Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit. Federal matters belong in PACER and Middle District procedures, not the parish calendar.
If You Miss a Court Setting
If you miss a court setting, act fast. East Feliciana Parish publishes no complete procedure for this situation. Never assume the calendar entry reset itself. Never count on a replacement date appearing on its own. Ask the court, ask the clerk, and talk with your attorney. Each plays a different role in how your case gets handled.
Missed a setting? Contact the clerk or the court identified on the docket promptly with the division, date, docket number if known, and case type.
For a matter with counsel, contact that attorney promptly as well, because the court may have a current instruction that is not visible in the calendar list.
Do not rely on a prior date, a third-party summary, or an unconfirmed verbal report when a court appearance may have changed.
Traffic tickets follow their own path. Use the instructions printed on the citation from the issuing court or sheriff, because the 20th JDC monthly Court Dates page does not control traffic due dates.
East Feliciana Parish Court Date Limits
The public calendar is only a schedule. It is not a complete court file. Want a certified judgment? Request it from the clerk. Need a transcript? Go through the court reporter route. And if your case actually sits in a town mayor's court, a JP district, or a federal court, find that local or federal custodian rather than assuming the East Feliciana Parish calendar lists your case at all. The East Feliciana Parish Justice of the Peace page covers the JP courts and what that office handles.
East Feliciana Parish has four JP districts. The parish does not publish a complete current contact directory for them, so confirm the right JP custodian before you rely on any address or phone number. The clerk's language-services information explains how the office handles interpreter requests.
English and Spanish are the standard languages. For an interpreter, the contact is Ginger Davis, CCR, 20th JDC, at 225-683-4800 and gdavis@20thjdc.org; reach out before you travel. The clerk's accessibility statement sets out the office's accessibility commitments.
The parish publishes no parking map, security-screening guide, transit route, or public-terminal description for the courthouse. If an accommodation detail matters for your visit, call ahead.
