Alicia Jeannette Theriot Knoll (born January 23, 1943) is a former member of the Louisiana Supreme Court. In 2016, she was one of three Democrats serving on the seven-member court, which has been presided over since 2013 by Chief Justice Bernette Joshua Johnson, a Democrat from New Orleans.
Knoll announced that she would retire at the end of 2016 rather than seek reelection. She was succeeded by James T. Genovese (born August 1949), who defeated Republican Marilyn C. Castle, 133,369 votes (51 percent) to 128,598 (49 percent), in the primary election held on November 8, 2016, in conjunction with the presidential race. The Louisiana Secretary of State lists Genovese as a Republican on its election returns but as a registered Independent on the voter portal. He may have switched registration after his election, or one of the party labels may be incorrect.
A native of Baton Rouge, Alicia Knoll, known as Jeannette, is one of ten children of Alfred Joseph Theriot and the former Marie Bailey. Reared in Gueydan in Vermilion Parish in southwestern Louisiana, she moved again to New Orleans, where she graduated from St. James Major High School. In 1961, at the age of eighteen, Knoll won a scholarship from the New Orleans Opera Guild and the Metropolitan Opera Association to study voice at the Mannes College of Music in Greenwich Village in New York City. She further studied music on a voice scholarship at Loyola University Music School in New Orleans. She was invited to be a guest soloist with the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony and the New Orleans Summer Pops.
