W.D. La. LR 51.1
Jury Instructions
When a trial is to be held before a jury, unless the Court orders otherwise, counsel for all parties
must confer and prepare proposed joint jury instructions. If counsel are unable to agree as to any
specific jury instruction, a separate proposal for such instruction may be submitted. If a separate
proposal is submitted, it must be supported by a memorandum of authorities. The joint and separate
proposed jury instructions must be filed with the clerk of court and a copy must be provided to the
judge before whom the trial is to be held at least seven days in advance of the date on which the jury
trial is scheduled. This Rule must not be interpreted or enforced to prevent a party from filing written
requests pursuant to FRCvP 51 at the close of evidence or at such earlier time during trial as the
court may reasonably direct.
