The Louisiana Clerks' of Court Retirement and Relief Fund, La. R. S. 11:1502 was established by Act 1950, Paragraphs 1 and 4. The body of its laws is now contained in La. R. S. 11: 1501 through La. R.. S. 11:1563 with some general references in La. R. S. 11:131 et seq. It is administered and managed by the board of trustees for the purpose of providing regular, disability and survivor benefits for clerks of court, their deputies and other employees, and the beneficiaries of such clerks of court, their deputies, and other employees. In 2009, it services approximately 900 retirees and over 2,400 active members.

"Membership" La. R. S. 11: 1511 is defined as "the clerks of the supreme court, each of the courts of appeal, each of the district courts, and each of the city and traffic courts in cities having a population in excess of four hundred thousand, and the employees of such clerks, whether full-time or part-time (at least twenty (20) hours per week) and the employees of the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association, the Louisiana Clerks' of Court Retirement and Relief Fund, and the Louisiana Clerks of Court Insurance Fund, shall be a member of the system during service as such." "Membership in the system ceases when a member resigns, is dismissed, retires, or is otherwise separated from service as a clerk or employee."

Any person who shall knowingly make any false statement or shall falsify or permit to be falsified any record or records of this system in an attempt to defraud the system shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, or conviction thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction shall be punished by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars or imprisonment in the parish jail not to exceed twelve months, such fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court.
