Do judges run the Vermilion Parish courthouse?

Some Vermilion Parish Police Jurors want to know who runs the courthouse? Is it the police jury or is it the judges of the 15th Judicial District?
Some jurors, right now, feel like its the judges who are informing the jurors what should be done in the courthouse.
The reason the question was asked is because of a recent court order the police jurors received from Judge Marylin Castle.
The court order instructed the police jury to ban cell phones (with the exception of courthouse employees, Sheriff deputies and attorneys).
The ban will go into effect on Feb. 16.
Police juror Kevin Sagrera, during a recent committee meeting, made the suggestion of getting an attorney general’s opinion on “What are the rights of the police jury?”
“We need to find out what are our rights,” Segrera said. “We are the governing body of the parish. We work for the taxpayers. We, the police jury, should have some kind of say in what goes on in the courthouse.”
Sagrera said judges should have control of what happens in their court room. “The courtroom is their jurisdiction. I don’t think it should be spread out throughout the courthouse.
“We need to find out what our rights are, and what can we do?”
Another suggestion was to have a security guard scan each person for cell phones who is about to enter the courtroom. If a phone is found, the person has to walk back to their vehicle and leave their cell phone.
Juror Wayne Touchet agrees with Sagrera.
“Why should the action of the few dictate the solution for the many, especially when the many are hardworking taxpayers who go to the courthouse to conduct business and in many instances, to earn a living,” Touchet said.
Many people who visit the court house are working and collect information for the oil and gas industry, real estate or criminal courts.
They use their cell phones to call or text information into the office.
Two landmen on Thursday had their cell phones on the table in the clerk of court’s office on the first floor of the courthouse. They said if they could not bring their cell phone, it would not hamper their job performance. They could use the land lines set up in the clerk of court’s office to call their office. One landman said when they walk into the courthouse in Lafayette they tell the security guard who they are, and they are allowed to keep their cell phone.
Police Juror Errol Domingues had a suggestion of asking Judge Castle to see if she would allow landmen to bring in their cell phones. He advised the jurors to ask Judge Castle first and see what her reply is before asking for an attorney general’s opinion.
The jurors agreed to first ask the Judge before asking for an attorney general’s opinion.
