About Marty
Marty Broussard began his career in the courthouse. He moved through the day-to-day of court life early, learning how cases arrive, are logged and flow through the system. Those early experiences shaped his understanding of procedure and practice.
In 1994 he served as Clerk of Court at the Second City Court in Orleans Parish. The role placed him at the center of courtroom administration. He handled filings, maintained records and supported judges and attorneys as they managed criminal and civil dockets. The work required attention to detail and a steady hand under the pressure of court calendars.
That period in the clerk’s office gave him practical exposure to the mechanics of litigation. He became familiar with how records are compiled, how orders are entered, and how deadlines affect case strategy. The job did not involve arguing cases from counsel table. It did provide a front-row view of courtroom rhythm and the administrative tasks that keep a court functioning.
Broussard later pursued alternative dispute resolution training and earned certification as a mediator from The Mediation Institute. The certification reflects formal training in facilitation and settlement techniques. It also signals an interest in helping parties reach negotiated outcomes outside of trial. As a mediator he uses process design, caucus sessions and structured negotiation to help parties explore options and narrow issues.
Over the years he has combined procedural knowledge from court administration with mediation practice. That combination can help in settings where case management and clear timelines matter to reaching settlements. Observers say this blend of skills can be useful when complex schedules, multiple parties or dense records are part of the conflict.
He has worked primarily in and around Orleans Parish, where his early courthouse role was based. That background gives him familiarity with local practices and the cadence of the regional courts. He has also assisted on matters that require careful organization of documents and an ability to keep negotiations on track.
As of 2026 Marty Broussard provides mediation and dispute resolution services, applying his courtroom experience and mediator training to help parties resolve conflicts outside of trial.
