Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:587.3
- 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.
A. Respecting seniority and the requirement that all cases be assigned randomly within multi-judge groupings, the judges of the Nineteenth Judicial District Court, by rule adopted by a majority vote of the judges sitting en banc, with the consent of the judge of a division, may assign to that division criminal matters or civil matters or drug court matters or domestic violence matters or any or all types of matters of which the court has jurisdiction.
B. Notwithstanding any principal assignments to divisions, all divisions of the court shall retain general jurisdiction to hear all matters.
