§503. Court always open
Article 7, §43 of the constitution means that district courts shall be open always and the proceedings shall be deemed held in open court, while the judge is on the bench. The fixing of sessions in districts composed of more than one parish shall not affect the authority or duty of the judge to sit at any time in any of the parishes of his district when the public interest may require it.
