Calvin Duncan, who beat incumbent Darren Lombard in the Orleans Parish Criminal Court clerk race in November, was sworn into office on Tuesday (April 21) on the steps of the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.
Duncan is set to assume office on May 4, unless the Louisiana Legislature and Republican Gov. Jeff Landry eliminate the position altogether. Senate Bill 256, which was introduced by Sen. John “Jay” Morris, R-Monroe, passed in the Senate on April 8 and is moving toward final passage in the House.
