Welcome to the Real World

Turning 18 brings new rights and responsibilities. To help young people make the transition to adulthood, Calcasieu Parish District Attorney John F. DeRosier offers a booklet entitled “Welcome to the Real World—Now That You Are 18.”

The booklet covers topics ranging from registering to vote to signing contracts, including information about jury duty, military service, apartments and many laws that apply to young adults. It contains straight talk about drinking, gambling, illegal drugs, credit and consumer protection—and how the law treats adults.
