A Louisiana Petition For Judicial Review is a legal document filed with the Louisiana Supreme Court to challenge a decision made by a lower court. It is a formal request for the Supreme Court to review the lower court’s decision and determine if any errors were made in the original ruling. There are two types of Louisiana Petition For Judicial Review: a Supervisory Writ and an Original Jurisdiction Writ. A Supervisory Writ is used when a lower court has made a decision that a party believes is incorrect, while an Original Jurisdiction Writ is used when a party believes the lower court has exceeded its jurisdiction or authority. Both petitions must include the name of the lower court, the names of the parties involved, a copy of the lower court’s decision, and the reasons why the petitioner believes the decision should be reviewed.
