JDC 18 Judges Refuse Role in Suit Filed by Plaquemine City Court Judge

City Court Judge William Dupont has filed a lawsuit against the City of Plaquemine aimed at restoring $30,000 cut from the city's budget for court employee's salaries, reports The Advocate. Three of the four State District Judges from the 18th JDC have removed themselves from the case, and if the fourth does as well, the Louisiana Supreme Court will appoint someone to hear the case.
