	Duncan vs Louisiana
		The position of Louisiana, on the other hand, is that the Constitution imposes upon the States no duty to give a jury trial in any criminal case, regardless of the seriousness of the crime or the size of the punishment which may be imposed.
		Louisiana's final contention is that even if it must grant jury trials in serious criminal cases, the conviction before us is valid and constitutional because here the petitioner was tried for simple battery and was sentenced to only 60 days in the parish prison.
		The selective incorporation process, if used properly, does limit the Supreme Court in the Fourteenth Amendment field to specific [***43] Bill of Rights' protections only and keeps judges from roaming at will in their own notions of what policies outside the Bill of Rights are desirable and what are not.

	Louisiana Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Sodomy Law
		A majority of the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled on July 6 that the state’s law criminalizing "crime against nature" as a felony does not violate the right of privacy under the Louisiana constitution.
		Smith appealed to the Louisiana 4th Circuit appeals court, which reversed his conviction, finding that the Louisiana constitution’s express protection of an individual right of privacy made it improper to apply the state’s sodomy law to non-commercial sexual conduct between consenting adults in private.
		Under Louisiana law, the crime of prostitution involving vaginal intercourse is a misdemeanor, with a relatively short prison sentence and/or a light fine, but if oral sex is involved, the prostitutes can be charged with sodomy, a serious felony.

		Louisiana tried Francis, a sixteen year old fl male, for the murder of a white druggist, convicted him, and sentenced him to death in the electric chair.
		Frankfurter’s move was a specimen of long-sanctioned lawyers’ reasoning, and had been at the core of common law pleading: a large and complex whole of law and fact was reduced by a series of logical cascades or logic gates to a single question of law, defined as narrowly and specifically as possible.
		Recognizing that the hint in his opinion might not be sufficient to prod the conscience of Louisiana and its governor, Frankfurter wrote a former classmate and roommate at the Harvard Law School, Monte Lemann, a member of the Louisiana bar, exhorting him to use his influence on Davis to get the sentence commuted.

		The Supreme Court reiterated the firmly established rule that the right to drive a motor vehicle in Louisiana was not a constitutional right but a privilege granted by the State.
		Therefore, the Supreme Court held that the Act was rationally related to the legislature’s stated public purpose of promoting compliance with the state’s compulsory liability insurance law.
		The Supreme Court held that in order for there to be a violation of Section 19, the Court must find that the statutory preclusion of recovery for the first ten thousand dollars constituted the loss of a property right.

		Louisiana's system for funding indigent defense is perhaps the country's most bizarre.
		The problem in Virginia is not that funds run out but that payments to court-appointed lawyers are capped at levels so absurdly low as to be inconsistent with a constitutionally adequate defense in any case that is the least bit complicated.

	Contract Issues: Louisiana Supreme Court Limits Restrictive Covenants (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Supreme Court decided to hear this case to resolve a split in the state courts of appeal regarding the permissible scope of restrictive covenants.
		In its analysis of the restrictive covenant statute, the Supreme Court focused on the phrase "engaging in a business." The court concluded that the legislature intended this exception to apply only to former employees and agents (i.e., independent contractors) who attempted to establish competing businesses and/or tried to solicit customers of the former employer.
		In essence, the Louisiana Supreme Court's decision upholds the principle that a business cannot use a restrictive covenant clause to shield itself from ordinary competition.

	On the Ropes: Louisiana High Court Strikes a Major Blow against Cockfighting
		In an opinion that will put the squeeze on cockfighters in the state, the Louisiana Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a Caddo Parish ordinance banning cockfighting, reversing two lower court decisions that found the ban to be beyond the power of local authorities under the state constitution.
		After the Louisiana Supreme Court agreed to review the case, attorneys for The HSUS submitted arguments to the court explaining why those decisions should be reversed, which the high court ultimately did.
		In 2004, the Oklahoma Supreme Court, without dissent, affirmed the constitutionality of a 2002 ballot initiative—passed by an overwhelming majority of voters—which made cockfighting activities a felony offense.

	Kennedy v. Louisiana - ScotusWiki
		Louisiana officials have urged the Supreme Court to allow the state to continue to seek the death penalty for those convicted of child rape.
		Since the Supreme Court has not ruled in 31 years on a category of crimes for which a death sentence would violate the Eighth Amendment, there is no firm basis for a projection of what it may now do as it reopens that question in the context of a death penalty for raping a child.
		Louisiana’s lawyer, assistant district attorney Juliet L. Clark of Gretna, opened by a graphic description of the severe injuries done to the child rape victim in Patrick Kennedy’s case — an indication that the state’s argument was going to be focused mainly on how deserving Kennedy was of capital punishment.

		On June 13, 2005, the Supreme Court sent the case (04-6530) back to the Louisiana Supreme Court to examine it further in the wake of a decision two weeks earlier in Miller-El v.
		Louisiana (06-10119) may live in history as a case about using O.J. Simpson’s legal troubles as a way to “play the race card” before an all-white jury trying a fl man. The Supreme Court, in a hearing on Tuesday, showed some fascination with that part of the case.

		One of the provisions of the amendment says, "A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be recognized." Judge William Morvant had ruled that the sentence would prevent the state from recognizing common-law relationships, "domestic partnerships," and civil unions between gay or heterosexual couples.
