Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure 18
- 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 court may adopt rules for the conduct of criminal proceedings before it, 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.
The rules shall be entered on the minutes of the court, and a copy shall be furnished on request to any attorney licensed to practice law in this state.
