Louisiana Rule for Judgment Pro Confess is a legal concept that allows a court to enter a judgment if a defendant fails to respond or appear in a civil case. This type of judgment is binding and is based on the assumed admissions of the defendant. The Louisiana Rule for Judgment Pro Confess is found in Civil Code Article 1731 and applies to both suits in rem and suits in personam. The two main types of Louisiana Rule for Judgment Pro Confess are In Rem and In Personal. In Rem judgments are final and binding and affect the title to property, while In Personal judgments are enforceable against the defendant’s person and property. The court must issue a citation to the defendant in order for the judgment to be entered and the defendant must be given a reasonable amount of time to respond. If the defendant does not respond, the court may enter a judgment pro confess.
