Legal experts call the case a toss-up, and the ACLU has joined the fray, warning the consolidation of judicial funds could give state officials undue control over New Orleans courts. With the Louisiana Supreme Court poised to decide, this battle could reshape the city’s judicial future and set a precedent for constitutional exceptions statewide.
