Description

Louisiana Law of Torts, A Précis Frank Maraist ISBN 9781422473504

Louisiana Law of Torts: A Précis provides a concise overview of the history and development of tort law in Louisiana, helping readers understand how the state’s current legal framework has evolved. The book explains how historical influences and legal traditions have shaped Louisiana’s approach to civil liability and personal injury law.

It also examines key concepts commonly associated with tort law, including intentional torts, negligence, wrongful death, immunity, comparative negligence, and strict or absolute liability. While these terms are not explicitly found in the Louisiana Civil Code, they originate from common law traditions. The principles behind them, however, are deeply rooted in Louisiana’s legal system through the Civil Code, legislative enactments, and judicial decisions.

By exploring both civil law and common law influences, the book highlights how Louisiana’s unique legal system has developed over more than two centuries, blending these traditions to form the modern law of torts in the state.
