Unif. R. La. Cts. App. 1-5
Panels
The court will ordinarily sit in randomly assigned panels, each composed of at
least 3 judges, as may be directed by the Chief Judge. In civil cases, when a judgment or
ruling of a trial court is to be modified or reversed and one judge dissents, the case shall
be reargued or resubmitted before a panel of at least 5 judges. When an appeal is taken
from an election case objecting to candidacy or contesting an election, the case shall be
heard by the court as directed by law. The court may sit in panels of more than 3 judges
or en banc when required by law or when the court deems it necessary to promote justice
or expedite the business of the court.
