About:
The Chancery Court handles cases involving domestic relations,
worker’s compensation, estates, trusts, contracts, review of administrative
action of governmental agencies and boards, collection of delinquent taxes,
guardianships, and conservatorships, dissolution of partnerships and
corporations, enforcement of liens, boundary lines, breach of contract, fraud,
election contests, and other matters of a civil nature. The Clerk and Master
handles the paperwork and fees associated with this court, and is sometimes
called upon to act as a Chancellor to the court.
Notice - Part 1
Per LRCP 6.02, motion docket will resume in Part 1 in January of 2023 at 1:30 p.m. Because of the first and third Mondays of January are holidays, motion docket will be held on Tuesday, January 3, 2023 and Tuesday, January 17, 2023.
Beginning in February 2023 and forward, Part 1 will resume motion docket on the first and third Mondays of the month.
Due to repeated technical difficulties, motion docket will be in-person in the courtroom only. If a virtual hearing is required (the necessity of which is to be determined by the Chancellor) the case must be specially set.
