Several Questions About the Orleans Parish (New Orleans) Government

  1. Do the seven Assessors work as a board for the whole parish, or are they resposible solely for the wards that each Assessor is elected from?

  2. Why is there a 2nd City Court, which only operates in the 15th Ward (Algiers)?

  3. What duties do the 4 Municipal Court judges have, compared to the Civil and Criminal Court judges?

If you could help explain this, I would be pleased.
