Oath – Jefferson Parish, LA

The Oath is a sworn statement form of the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, published by the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court, in which a person states under oath that someone will faithfully perform the duties of a named position.

The form opens with a court caption: STATE OF LOUISIANA, 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, a case number (No.), a Division, and the names of the parties on either side of "vs." The body then reads: "Personally came and appeared" followed by the name of the person swearing, "of the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, who, being duly sworn, says" that a named person "will well and faithfully perform and discharge, all and singular, the duties incumbent upon" a named person "as" a position that you describe on the ruled lines. It closes with "So help me God," a signature line, and a notary block: "Sworn to and subscribed before me, This ___ day of ___, 20 ___," above a line for the Notary Public.

The PDF reproduces the same oath block twice.

The Clerk's forms page offers the Oath as a sample and states that these forms are intended for use by qualified notaries or attorneys only. The form itself does not say which position or office it covers, so the blanks carry that information. It is a court form: it has no tax content.

The Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court publishes the Oath among forms provided as a convenience and intended as samples for use by qualified notaries or attorneys only. The form's text points to three roles:

• The person swearing. The form names the person who "personally came and appeared" and who is "of the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana." That person signs the oath.
• The notary public. The notary completes the "Sworn to and subscribed before me" block with the date and signs on the Notary Public line.
• The attorney or other preparer. The caption asks for the case number, Division and parties of a matter in the 24th Judicial District Court, so the form is prepared for a specific case.

Clerk of Court employees are prohibited from providing legal advice or assistance with completing any form, so questions about whether this oath fits your situation go to a qualified notary or attorney, not to the Clerk's staff.

The form prints no deadline or due date. It is completed when the oath is taken: the person swearing appears before the notary, signs, and the notary enters the day, month and year in the line "This ___ day of ___, 20 ___." Because the caption asks for a case number and Division of the 24th Judicial District Court, the oath is prepared for a matter in that court, and its timing follows that matter. The Clerk of Court's forms page gives no separate timing rule for the Oath.

The Oath form names no mailing address, portal or appointment rule of its own. The Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court's forms page at https://jeffparishclerk.gov/forms/ states two conditions that apply to the forms it publishes:

• Fees. All documents must be submitted with the appropriate fees. A fee applies; the forms page refers you to the Clerk's Fees page for the charges, so check it for the current amount.
• No legal help. Clerk of Court employees are prohibited from giving legal advice or assistance with the completion of any form.

Have the notary complete the jurat before the oath is submitted with the court matter whose number, Division and parties appear in the caption. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the Clerk of Court's channels.
