As amended through October 31, 2024
Section 8

On the outside of the front cover of the record (and of each volume if there be more than one), there shall be inscribed, with proper separation of lines and spaces, and in the following order:

(a) The number of the case in this court, to be inserted by the clerk of this court;
(b) The number of the volume, if there be more than one;
(c) The date of the filing in this court, to be entered by the clerk of this court;
(d) The title of the case, with words showing the status of the parties respectively (i.e., whether appellant, appellee, relator, respondent, plaintiff, defendant, etc.);
(e) The name of the court and of the parish from which the appeal comes, the number of the case in such court, and the name of the judge who rendered the decision appealed from;
(f) The name and address of counsel for the parties at the time of lodging the record in this court, with words showing whether the party is plaintiff, defendant, intervenor, opponent, or third-party plaintiff or defendant. The clerk of the trial court shall ascertain counsel at the time of the appeal and of lodging the record in this court, rather than supplying only the counsel at the initial pleadings.

Upon request, the clerk of this court will furnish printed cover sheets in the format desired for the records to be filed in this court.
