Assistant District Attorneys assigned to the Appeals Division respond to and litigate post-conviction applications filed in state court. They answer federal habeas applications filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. And they handle appeals of those cases to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
The Appeals Division provides support to the Trials Division, assisting with research on complex issues of law and, when necessary, seeking emergency review of adverse trial court decisions in the state appellate and Supreme courts.
