§623. Other compensation prohibited; expenses outside district
The district attorney of the Twenty-Eighth Judicial District shall receive
no fees nor other compensation for official service in the district court. He
shall represent the parishes of the Twenty-Eighth Judicial District and other
public boards therein, in all matters of litigation in which the parishes or
boards may have an interest, and shall be their legal adviser when so requested
without extra compensation. In any litigation or business necessitating the
attention or assistance of the district attorney outside of his judicial district, by
either the parishes, school boards, or other public boards, the district attorney
shall be allowed and paid his expenses. This Section shall not apply to any
fees that are recovered as penalties in a civil suit where attorney fees are made
a part of the damages or penalties by statute.
