Description

Louisiana Criminal Law Cases and Materials ISBN 9781531029692

Louisiana Criminal Law: Cases and Materials provides a comprehensive and rigorous exploration of Louisiana criminal law. Through detailed explanations, thoughtful analysis, and diverse perspectives, the book equips students and practitioners with a deep understanding of the principles, doctrines, and applications of criminal law in Louisiana.

Key features include:

  • A clear explanation of the concept of criminal responsibility and its foundational role in the criminal justice system;
  • A thorough examination of defenses that excuse or justify otherwise criminal conduct, including insanity, intoxication, mistake, compulsion, necessity, self-defense, and provocation;
  • A detailed analysis of specific crimes under Louisiana law, with a focus on the statutory elements and interpretive case law governing offenses such as homicide, assault, battery, sexual offenses, kidnapping, theft, robbery, burglary, and arson;
  • A focused discussion of inchoate offenses—conspiracy, solicitation, attempt—and the roles and liabilities of parties to a crime.

Drawing on both statutory interpretation and jurisprudential development, this casebook offers a structured, accessible, and intellectually engaging resource for mastering Louisiana criminal law.
