Art. 161 Redesignated as Code of Civil Procedure Article 159 by Acts 2021, No. 143, §1

This rule number is no longer in use. Louisiana moved this rule to a different location in the law books. What used to be called Rule 161 is now called Article 159.

If you're looking for the actual content of this rule, you'll need to look up Article 159 in the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure instead. The change happened in 2021 when lawmakers passed Act 143, which reorganized some parts of the code. The rules themselves may not have changed much, but the number you use to find them did.

If you have an older document or case that references Rule 161, just know it's pointing to what is now Article 159.
