Art. 2164.1 Assignment of appellate panels

This rule tells appeals courts how to assign judges to hear a case. Instead of setting its own separate process, the rule points to another law, R.S. 13:319, and says that law's rules apply here.

In practice, this means the assignment of judges to a panel for an appeal follows the standard process already laid out in that statute. If you want to know exactly how panels get picked, you would need to look at R.S. 13:319 itself for the details.
