Art. 281 Certain articles not applicable to Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans

This rule carves out an exception for one specific court in Louisiana. It says that the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans does not have to follow the rules laid out in Articles 282 through 286.

Those other articles set requirements for court clerks and deputy clerks in most parishes. But the clerk and deputy clerks who work at the Civil District Court in Orleans Parish are treated differently. They follow their own separate rules instead.

If you're dealing with a case in Orleans Parish, this means you can't assume the standard clerk rules from Articles 282 through 286 apply there. You would need to look at whatever specific rules or laws govern that court's clerk's office instead.
