"Returning this awe-inspiring building to a home for the state's highest court demonstrates to citizens and visitors alike that we, the people of Louisiana, value our system of justice and our rich architectural history. This renovation will restore dignity and beauty to the courthouse as it was in the first half of the century," announced Chief Justice Calogero.

    The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Supreme Court Ceremonies The Louisiana Supreme Court celebrated its 200th anniversary on March 1, 2013. As a special session of court, the Louisiana Supreme Court justices presided over the Bicentennial ceremony, which commemorated the Court’s two centuries of legal heritage. The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees. Four speakers discussed various aspects of the Court’s history, including A Walk Through the Streets of New Orleans at the Time of the Court’s Foundation, by Tulane Professor Richard Campanella; The Civilian Aspects of Louisiana Law, by LSU Law Professor John Randall Trahan; The Role of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Early Civil Rights Movement, by UNO Emeritus Professor Raphael Cassimere, Jr.; and The History of the Louisiana Supreme Court, by UNO Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History and Bicentennial Court Historian Warren M.

    12TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT PARISH OF AVOYELLES STATE OF LOUISIANA VINCENT SIMMONS CASE No. 37,596 Petitioner Versus DARREL VANNOY, Warden Louisiana State Penitentiary FILED:____________________ _________________________ DEPUTY CLERK MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION RELIEF NOW INTO COURT, through undersigned counsel, comes Petitioner Vincent Simmons, DOC #85188, respectfully submitting this Memorandum in Support of Application for Post-Conviction Relief. We have had a peaceful type of community here. Uh, basically speaking the negroes had their own little area of communities which we call along the - the old river, to the east of Marksville, and the whites uh more or less lived within the corporate limits of the city. Therefore, there was a separation. But not a separation when it came to being peaceful together. They knew their place, of course you know the standard things. They couldn’t go everywhere the whites could go, and they couldn’t do everything the whites could do. But they accepted that and there was never - never a confrontation of any sort. Eleanor Gremillion, former Secretary of Chamber of Commerce, Shadows of Doubt: State v. 85188 Vincent Simmons (1999). I’ve got to live with my own conscience. You know, I don’t want to try anybody and convict anybody who is not guilty of a crime. And to be quite frank with you, I agree with the thought that, I would prefer having 10 persons who are guilty to get away with it then to convict one innocent person.
