Summary
Louisiana’s Supreme Court just ruled that lawmakers can slash three judge positions in New Orleans’ Criminal District Court with a simple majority — not the two-thirds supermajority one judge argued was required. The move, aimed at cutting costs, will eliminate three court sections and leave current judges in those seats jobless when their terms end — starting January 2027. The 4-3 decision sparked strong dissent from justices who believe the state constitution demands higher approval for such changes.
