About C. Scott
C. Scott Courrege built a legal path that began in the classroom and moved quickly into courtrooms and training rooms. He earned a B.A. in Criminal Justice from the University of Southern Mississippi before completing his J.D. at Southern University Law Center. Those studies provided a foundation in criminal law and procedure that informs his daily work.
After law school he became a member of the Louisiana State Bar. He practices law in Louisiana and is listed as an attorney at Dué Guidry Piedrahita Andrews Courrege L.C. His role at the firm has involved courtroom appearances and advising clients on matters that intersect with criminal law. Over time he added specialized training to his resume, earning a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor Certification from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That credential signals involvement in cases and training related to impaired driving and roadside procedures.
Colleagues describe Courrege as someone who moves between litigation and instruction. He handles the practical demands of arraignments, motions and trials, and also spends time teaching officers or other attorneys about standardized field sobriety testing protocols. The instructional work requires a careful attention to technique and procedure. The litigation work requires a readiness to question how tests and observations were carried out. Those two strands of work inform one another.
In professional circles he maintains membership in the Louisiana State Bar and participates in the legal community in Louisiana. His educational background in criminal justice, combined with law training and certification from the NHTSA, positions him to take on cases where traffic enforcement, sobriety testing and criminal charges intersect. He represents clients at various stages of criminal proceedings and also engages in efforts to clarify or explain testing procedures when disputes arise.
Courrege’s practice balances courtroom advocacy and technical instruction. He continues to work at Dué Guidry Piedrahita Andrews Courrege L.C., where he handles criminal defense matters and issues arising from impaired driving and traffic-safety procedures. He is currently practicing at Dué Guidry Piedrahita Andrews Courrege L.C., concentrating on criminal defense, impaired driving and traffic-safety matters.
