Terms Used In Louisiana Children's Code 401
- Clerk of court: An officer appointed by the court to work with the chief judge in overseeing the court's administration, especially to assist in managing the flow of cases through the court and to maintain court records.
- 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. Unless procedures are otherwise provided through rules promulgated by the Louisiana Supreme Court, a court may adopt administrative rules governing internal operating procedures not in conflict with provisions of this Code, or of other laws. 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 made available to the public by filing a copy with the Judicial Council of the Louisiana Supreme Court and by filing a copy with the clerk of court, and a copy shall be furnished on request to any attorney licensed to practice law in this state.
