The Orleans Parish Juvenile Court Traffic Division: Encouraging Safe Driving Habits

Under the leadership of Chief Judge Ranord J. Darensburg (Section F), the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court holds exclusive jurisdiction over all cases involving juveniles who have been issued traffic violations within the city of New Orleans.

As Chief Judge Darensburg states, "Driving is often a youth's first step into independence. Our goal in the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court Traffic Division is to provide young drivers with the education and tools needed to encourage safe and responsible driving habits."

The Traffic Division recognizes the importance of instilling good driving practices early on, as these habits can last a lifetime. By addressing traffic violations committed by juveniles and providing educational resources, the court aims to promote responsible behavior behind the wheel and keep New Orleans' roads safer for everyone.
