La. R. Sup. Ct. 2

As amended through October 31, 2024
Section 2 - Scope
(a) Attorneys admitted to and in good standing with the Louisiana Supreme Court may electronically file documents as provided herein.
(b) Any document which may be filed by conventional filing may be electronically filed. See, Louisiana Supreme Court Rule XLII Appendix B, Schedule of Electronic Filing Types.
(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 Louisiana Supreme Court in a pending matter regardless of the form of filing of previous or subsequent documents in a case.
(g) The Louisiana Supreme Court will provide technical support for the Louisiana Supreme Court's Data/Document Exchange during normal business hours. However, failure of the Louisiana Supreme Court's technical support to remedy any technical difficulty will not be taken into account in the Louisiana Supreme Court's consideration of timeliness of the electronic filing of a document.
(h) To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of the Louisiana Supreme Court Rule XLII and the provisions of Louisiana Supreme Court Rules I through XIV, the provisions of the Louisiana Supreme Court Rule XLII will prevail.
