RULES OF SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA

PART A. PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE

RULE II. DOCKETING OF CASES, MOTIONS, APPLICATIONS; DESIGNATION OF LEAD COUNSEL

Section 1. Cases will be docketed in the order in which they are filed. No motion or application, except such as may be made in open court, will be considered, unless previously filed, numbered, and docketed.

Section 2. If a law firm or more than one attorney represents a party, one attorney will be designated in the first pleading filed on behalf of that party as "Lead Counsel." This attorney may, but need not, be the attorney who personally signs the pleadings. The designated Lead Counsel will be responsible for the case and all notices and other communications with respect to it will be directed to the designated Lead Counsel. The designation of Lead Counsel may be changed at any time by ex parte motion. If a party desires to change the Lead Counsel, the new Lead Counsel will be promptly designated.
