They could not possibly have found a more irrelevant interviewee for the story.

Toni runs for any/every position available.

They can all make that if they can be that efficient.

No. That’s just formality time of court presence. It doesn’t account for the behind the scenes work.
I’m also skeptical that the article does enough investigation and reporting. Is it really his full salary, or is it the full revenue of his office, some of which goes to his staff?
I look forward to follow up .

Yeah. Check that last name and you’ll see why.

It's not possibly to give legal due process to 86 cases like that in 36 minutes. That's an average of 25 seconds per case. Just calling the case name out takes 5-ish seconds
It’s mostly no show default evictions which they, inappropriately in my opinion, essentially call and dispose of in globo.
Eta: to be clear, I’m using “they” generally. I don’t have any experience or knowledge of that particular JotP.

This guy posts here:
A Jefferson Parish judge ordered 3,300 evictions in a year's time; He made over $400,000 while doing it
An investigative report by The Guardian says that Justice of the Peace Charles Cusimano II heard 86 eviction cases in 36 minutes on one day.
Good Work My Man, don't pay your rent get The frick Out

You still have to create a record, establish procedures were followed, introduce evidence, take testimony, etc.
If you said 5 minutes? OK. 25 seconds? naw.

They basically take a default on the pleadings without further testimony. Landlord/manager files the petition with the allegations for breach (usually non payment of rent) and copy of the lease if the five day notice period was waived or a copy of the notice put on their door if not. They might swear the manager in to affirm that everything in the petitions are true. Then because the constable or whoever checked people in as they got there, anyone who isn’t present gets defaulted.
Now, that’s not me defending the practice, just explaining what it looks like. It’s particularly fricked if the manager isn’t asked under oath whether they accepted any rent payments after posting the notice or filing for the eviction, which is extremely common and would vitiate the filing.

She pointed to a more than century-old U.S. Supreme Court precedent, which found that a defendant’s rights were violated if their case was heard before a judge with a direct financial interest in the outcome," The Guardian reported.
But do they have a direct financial interest in the outcome? The JP doesn’t get paid more if they evict, right? They get paid from the filing fee. Or am I missing something here? I don’t see a way that the outcome of the case affects the amount the JP office collects (specifically in eviction cases).

Jefferson Parish folks should know that current candidate for district court Judge, Joe McMahon has been in cahoots with this clown for a long time.

That is listed. And I actually quoted that.
quote:
The volume and speed of eviction cases heard by Cusimano help explain how, in 2025, his court raised revenue of just under $1m in fees, of which Cusimano directly retained $380,929, records show. That amounted to over $63,000 more than the US chief justice, John Roberts

I agree many deserve to be evicted but mega properties like First Kake and Tonti suck at maitence and force you to pay when you have damage or no AC or whatever.
I knew people in units by both. I'm actually shocked by how bad maintenance is in luxury apartments even..
I linked wwl article but Guardian was first

No,” she replied, her voice barely audible. “I was waiting on them to fix my place.”
Justice Cusimano immediately ordered the eviction, informing Pierre she could not withhold payment over the conditions of her apartment, but could sue 1st Lake, one of Louisiana’s largest rental firms, separately over the issue. Pierre, like almost all others that day, had no attorney. Her hearing lasted less than a minute.

He added that Louisiana law does not allow a tenant to simply stop paying rent if they have a termite infestation or other maintenance problems. If the landlord doesn’t fix things after they have been informed in writing, he noted, the renter can hire someone to make the repairs and withhold part of the rent to cover those costs.
