Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 44, § 302. Judgments; execution on certified copies

Upon the production of a certified copy of any original judgment of any court of record, or certified copies of the judgment from the record of judicial mortgages, the clerk of the court of the parish where the destruction has taken place may issue execution thereon. Where no copy exists, the owner of the judgment, or his attorney, may obtain execution thereon upon presenting to the clerk of the court a statement, under oath, of the amount of the judgment or the balance due thereon. This Section shall not be construed to prevent the judgment from being established as other records in the manner provided for in Part II, Subpart A of this Chapter.
