La. Sup. Ct. R. XLII, § 2

A. Attorneys admitted to and in good standing with the Supreme Court of

Louisiana may electronically file documents as provided in this Rule.

B. Any document which may be filed by conventional filing may be electronically

filed.

C. An electronically filed document has the same legal effect as a conventionally

filed document.

D. If a document is electronically filed, the electronic document constitutes the

official original court record of said document.

E. The electronic filing of a document does not relieve the Registered User of any

legal duty to serve copies on parties and/or lower courts as required by order, rule

or statute.

F. Electronic filings will be accepted by the Court in a pending matter regardless of

the form of filing of previous or subsequent documents in a case.

G. The Supreme Court of Louisiana shall provide technical support for its Court

Data/Document Exchange during normal business hours. The failure of technical

support to resolve a technical issue arising on the user’s side shall not be

considered in determining the timeliness of any electronic filing.

H. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Rule and the

provisions of Rules I through XIII, the provisions of this Rule will prevail.
