AI Summary
This bill enacts a new provision, Article 1313(E) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which allows attorneys involved in a legal case (referred to as "counsel of record") to inform the court of their preferred method for receiving legal documents (known as "pleadings") for that specific case from the beginning of the proceedings. This aims to streamline the process of officially delivering legal documents, ensuring that attorneys can specify how they wish to be served going forward.
