Art. 2595 Trial; decision

When a case moves forward as a summary proceeding, it gets priority over regular cases on the court's schedule. As long as both sides get fair notice, the court will hear this type of case before it hears standard lawsuits. There's also no jury involved. A judge alone decides the outcome, unless another law specifically says otherwise.

Once the trial wraps up, the judge is expected to make a decision quickly. Courts are told to rule as soon as they reasonably can, and when possible, to do so right away instead of taking extra time to think it over. This rule exists because summary proceedings usually involve matters that need a fast resolution, so the law pushes courts to keep things moving instead of letting decisions drag out.
