Hardcover. New. $95. * When Louisiana enacted its Digest of the Civil Laws in 1808 and Quebec its Civil Code of Lower Canada in 1866, both jurisdictions were in a period of transition - economic, social and political.

This book offers the first systematic and detailed exploration of the two new codes in light of social and legal change.

He places this examination in the context surrounding each codification, and the legal history of both… Read More
