Louisiana Pocket Civil Code, 2024 Edition

As with all prior editions, the 2024 edition of the Louisiana Pocket Civil Code is meant to be a user-friendly tool, with an accessible, bare-bones presentation of the Code articles written in their original style. It is uncluttered and easy to handle, without distracting references to cases or comments. This presentation is mostly aimed at emphasizing the ranking of legislation as the imperative and primary source of law in the Louisiana civil law tradition as stated in articles 1 and 2 of the Civil Code.

The Louisiana Pocket Civil Code helps the reader grasp the essence of codified law. Those seeking a deeper understanding may consult the Carolina Academic Press publications Deciphering a Civil Code and the Précis series.
