He was tried by a provost court and sentenced to four years in prison.

Provost courts, composed of officers appointed by the military governor, tried criminal cases.

He had begun a naval career when the death of the incumbent king's attorney in the provost court of Quebec caused a vacancy.

He also served as adjutant general of the department, and as judge of the provost court in New Orleans.

In 1743 his father obtained his discharge and subsequently an appointment as royal notary in the provost court of Quebec in 1744.

In 1677, he replaced his father as Lieutenant-General for Civil and Criminal Affairs (Judge) of the Provost Court.

Bailie courts had appellate jurisdiction over lower courts (manorial courts, provost courts) but was the court of first instance for suits involving the nobility.

The members of the Sovereign Council never ceased harrying this over-vulnerable official (Louis), in an attempt to discredit him and thereby to compromise the Provost Court.

He frequently presided over provost courts to ensure fair treatment of freedmen in legal disputes, and was instrumental in establishing schools for children of former slaves in his part of South Carolina.

The struggle began in earnest after Louis XIV, in May 1677, had restored the Provost Court of Quebec to its original authority, and confirmed the attorney Boulduc in his post.

After reinstatement, he was reunited with his regiment and commanded at Lookout Mountain, reinforced General Nathaniel Banks at the Red Cedar retreat and later commissioned as judge of the Department of the Gulf Provost Court.

Already shortly after his arrival, he entered the service of Bishop Ruprecht von Pfalz-Simmern and held the office of Siegelbewahrer (keeper of the seal, also called Insiegler or Siegelträger) at the Strasbourg provost court, which he lost again in 1455.
