Art. 402 Repealed by Acts 1974, Ex.Sess., No. 20, §1, eff. January 1, 1975

This rule no longer exists. Louisiana lawmakers removed it from the law back in 1974, and the repeal took effect on January 1, 1975.

Because it was repealed so long ago, this rule has no legal effect today. If you're researching Louisiana criminal procedure, you can skip this one and look at current rules instead. Any case or legal question you're dealing with now would be governed by whatever rules replaced it, not by this old, removed provision.

If you saw a reference to Rule 402 somewhere, it's likely in an older document or case history. For current guidance, check the present-day Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure or talk to a lawyer about which rules actually apply to your situation.
