Abstract
This site is a joint project of the Center of Civil Law Studies (CCLS), Information Technology and the Law Library of the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, in partnership with the Center for French and Francophone Studies, and the Department of French Studies at Louisiana State University. According to the website, “The Digest of the Civil Laws now in Force in the Territory of Orleans was enacted on March 31, 1808. It is now made accessible online, on occasion of the Bicentennial of what is often described as the first Louisiana civil code. The original French and the English translation can be viewed separately or together on the same screen. The typing of both versions was extracted from the first edition of 1808, printed by Bradford & Anderson, in the city of New Orleans. With the exception of obvious typos, the Digest Online strictly follows the original wording and orthography.”
