XXIII § 16 Citations, Subpoenas, and Other Process Issued by the Clerk of the Court.

When the Judiciary Commission sends a judge's case to the Louisiana Supreme Court, someone has to handle the paperwork needed to keep the case moving. This rule says that job belongs to the clerk of the Supreme Court, or one of the clerk's deputies.

This means the clerk's office is in charge of sending out notices, issuing subpoenas, and creating any other official documents needed for the case. People involved in the case, like witnesses or the judge facing discipline, will get these documents from the clerk's office, not from some other source. This keeps the process organized and makes sure everyone knows where official case documents come from.
