New rules for La. courts of appeal

A reminder: On January 1, a new set of Uniform Rules for the Louisiana Courts of Appeal went into effect. While there were no revolutionary changes, many rules were updated to account for electronic filing (now available in all five circuits) and to abolish obsolete provisions. You can find the new rules on the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Circuits’ web sites. For a comparison between the current and prior versions of the Uniform Rules, see this Dec. 16, 2022 blog post.
