	#10-0251
	Parishes are generally exempt from paying court costs according to
La. R.S.
	13:4521.
	However, La. R.S. 13:5112 creates an exception to this general rule
	providing that in a
	law suit against the parish, when a judgment has been rendered
against the
	parish, the
	trial or appellate court in its discretion may order the parish to
pay the
	successful party's
	court costs. This exemption mandates the judgment to give a specific
dollar
	amount the
	parish is to pay. (Day)
	Op to Honorable Craig P. Taffaro, Jr., St. Bernard Parish President,
	Chalmette, LA
	Date Released: February 22, 2011
