22nd Judicial District Court

What 22nd Judicial District Court does

The 22nd Judicial District Court (Twenty-Second Judicial District Court) is a state judicial district court in Louisiana, one of the state's 43 judicial districts, with original jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in St. Tammany Parish and Washington Parish. The court consists of twelve elected judges and two commissioners organized across divisions A through L, plus commissioners and a hearing officer, and operates from two locations: the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center in Covington and the Washington Parish Courthouse in Franklinton. Court services include general civil and criminal proceedings, family court, misdemeanor court, bond court, and a broad portfolio of specialty courts including Adult Drug Court, Drug Court Co-Occurring Track 2, Family Preservation Court, Veterans Court, Sobriety Court, Re-Entry Court, Court Intervention Services, and Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Court. The court also provides free interpreter and language access services in Spanish and Vietnamese.

The court's technology footprint is modest and consists primarily of a public-facing Squarespace website (online.22ndjdc.org) providing access to court calendars, division information, forms, and specialty court details, integrated with Zoom video conferencing for remote hearings. The court tracks bond screening electronically and has been committed to WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance. Technology functions as a service delivery and access tool rather than a product offering, and there is no developer-facing API or proprietary software platform.

The 22nd JDC is a government entity funded through Louisiana state and local government appropriations, supplemented by specialty court grants such as the 2018 Bond Court grant for pretrial services under a sequential intercept program. Court services are provided free of charge to the public; the court charges no fees for judicial services. The court operates an extensive partnership network including the St. Tammany and Washington Parish Sheriff's Offices, Clerks of Court, Louisiana Supreme Court, Department of Children and Family Services, Probation and Parole, District Attorney's Office, Veterans Health Administration, and community treatment providers such as Longbranch Recovery Center, Covington Behavioral Health, Beacon Behavioral Health, Florida Parish Human Services Authority, and NAMI. The court markets its services only through public information channels including its website and community outreach.
