Pavy was employed at the age of seventeen in the parish clerk of court's office. He worked there again when his father was elected as the St. Landry Parish clerk of court. He began his law practice in Opelousas in 1901, after having read law in the office of his future father-in-law, Edward P. Veazie (1850-1916). Pavy was elected as [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] to the 16th District judgeship in 1910 — at the time there were no [[Republican Party|Republicans]] competitive in Louisiana — and served until a change in the district lines caused him not to run again. The new lines placed the anti-Long St. Landry Parish in a revised district with pro-Long voter majorities in Acadia, Lafayette, and Vermilion parishes.<ref name=dlb/>
