Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:587.1
- 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.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
The judges of the Ninth Judicial District Court, by rule adopted by a majority vote of the judges sitting en banc, may designate and assign to any division of the court any or all types of matters of which the court has jurisdiction.
