Dear Ms. Moore:
In response to your inquiry of recent date, we enclose a copy of a ruling recently issued by the Judiciary Commission indicating that a deputy sheriff may not also serve as a justice of the peace.
In response to your second inquiry, the Dual Officeholding and Dual Employment provisions, LSA-R.S. 42:61, et seq., are generally applicable only to the holding of two public offices.  Here, a psychologist would hold a position within the private sector, thereby making those provisions inapplicable.
However, we advise you to consult the Judiciary Commission, at the number on the enclosed correspondence for a further advisory ruling.
Very truly yours,
                              RICHARD P. IEYOUB ATTORNEY GENERAL
                              BY: __________________________________ KERRY L. KILPATRICK ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
