La. R. Sup. Ct. 1
In all cases appealed to this court, a certified copy of the original record and two duplicate records, shall be filed and shall be prepared as set forth below. Where a writ is granted to review the action of a trial court, a certified copy of the original record and one duplicate shall be prepared. The records need not contain pleadings, testimony, exhibits, or rulings not material to the action sought to be reviewed. The certified copy of the original shall include all documentary and photographic evidence as well as any other evidence which was part of the original record. The original of all evidence may be filed with this court, but they should be filed separately and not be made part of or attached to the certified original record. All exhibits which are filed in original form and separate from the record will be returned to the district court when the case becomes final. All physical or corporeal evidence, particularly large items of physical evidence, should not be filed along with the record, and need only be filed if requested.
Where a writ is granted to review the action of a court of appeal, it shall be sufficient to file in this court the original and duplicate records there filed.
