The Judges of the Baton Rouge City Court are aware and very concerned about the problems that plague the citizens of the Baton Rouge community due to the existing crime problem. Criminal conduct seems to be on the rise, and law enforcement agencies are finding it more and more difficult to effectively control this situation. It is our belief that citizens in the community can help.

Volunteerism Program

As a means of involving citizens to help, we have implemented a Volunteerism Program. By utilizing the services and skills of volunteers to work with the City Court staff, it is our goal to enhance the delivery of services currently in place.

If you would like to know more about this program and might be interested in participating with us. You may apply for the Volunteers in Court Program (PDF) by printing the form and returning it to:
