Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure 193

  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • En banc: In the bench or "full bench." Refers to court sessions with the entire membership of a court participating rather than the usual quorum. U.S. courts of appeals usually sit in panels of three judges, but may expand to a larger number in certain cases. They are then said to be sitting en banc.

            A. A court may adopt rules for the conduct of judicial business before it, including those governing matters of practice and procedure that are not contrary to the rules provided by law. When a court has more than one judge, its rules shall be adopted or amended by a majority of the judges thereof, sitting en banc.

            B. The rules shall be entered on the minutes of the court. Rules adopted by an appellate court shall be published in the manner that the court considers most effective and practicable.
