It's an incredibly antiquated practice, much like the requirement that service of process in civil suits filed in Louisiana state courts must first be attempted by the sheriff's office.
yeah that is a major bit of cronyism but i will admit i do like it sometimes. Covid made a bunch of clerks get onboad with e-filing so it's only a matter of time before the service rules will be updated for private process following e-filing like pretty much everywhere else

Well, I do have one issue with this.
While cumbersome, it is a necessary process.
How would you like to be sued and have a 3rd party private process server say that they gave you the suit and didn't follow the necessary steps and say they gave it to you but didn't and you get a default judgement against you?
In Louisiana, you only have 15 calendar days to respond to a civil suit once being served by the sheriff's office before a default judgement can be requested. It would be nice for that to be increased to 30 days.
By having the SO do this job of the court, it at least has some accountability built-in.
