He suddenly falls through the floor and a gloved hand grabs him before his head goes out of sight. Thick blue Smoke bellow up through the hole around his body from below. The fallen fireman’s buddy wearing the same gear pulls him up by his arm and thick coat.

  • The Celebration Bicentennial Louisiana Supreme Court
    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. Billings. Students from the International High School of New Orleans took the stage following the speakers to present a short, trilingual play entitled An Uncommon Birth: Shaping Louisiana’s Legal Tradition for Statehood.

  • Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.
